UK. Second biggest gaming market in the world. 360 does very well indeed. ;) UK isn't second biggest gaming market anymore, it only was for a very short time. Germany is a bigger market than the UK now.
You are wrong. I already corrected you in this thread.

It also dominates in the UK (besides the Wii) which is the 2nd biggest gaming market. Your point is stupid and racist anyway. america is a race?
Even though it is indeed stereotyping and not racism, it's still insulting nonetheless.
It seems this is the only comeback lemmings can come up with. VGChartz may be a little off, but that doesn't mean that the TC is completely wrong.Rikusaki
its been shown in these threads time and time again that VGChartz is not reliable at all, whoever it favors. its just not a credible source.

and stereotyping can be construed as a form of racism. on topic: yes, NA is a huge 360 stronghold, but i really do think a lot of people downplay MS success in other regions of the world, as well.

He is wrong and I already corrected him in this thread. He must have completely ignored all the evidence I provided.

A little!?!? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Last month they were off over 100k in one territory! Now how much are they off in areas where their numbers can't be checked and "fixed" when proper ones come out!
Wow, N4G and VGchartz that is like fail squared...

This, they can't cope with the fact that PS3 is now doing very well.
I remember when the fake numbers of VGchartz were showing the 360 ahead the cows where doing the same thing as the lems by saying that VGchartzshould not be used(and the lems were doing the smae thing as the cows braging about the sales.)

because cows weren't using such comebacks when vgchartz showed 360 winning am i right? Right, I am not one of them.
VGChartz may not be the most reliable source out there, but I don't think we should be jumping the gun and laughing at the TC every single time a thread like this is posted.

Is VGChartz Reliable?

Sorry, but VGC fails.
"Sales estimates are split into three major regions – Americas , Japan and Others – and are arrived at via a number of proprietrary and ever-developing methods:
Polling end users to find out what games they are currently purchasing and playing
Polling retail partners to find out what games and hardware they are selling
Using statistical trend fitting and historical data for similar games
Studying resell prices to determine consumer demand and inventory levels
Consulting with publishers and manufacturers to find out how many units they are introducing into the channel"

I'd argue that sterotyping is a form of racism. While "Americans" aren't actually a race saying that all americans are stupid is certainly racism in my opinion. Racism doesn't just have to be between races, but it's a good word to cover all sorts of insults and discrimination of this nature. In fact I hate the term race, and would class people in different ethnic groups rather than saying they belong to a race. Btw is that a Nightmare avatar? He was my character of choice in Soul Calibur 2 :P

from the article: ..."This basically means that they can get things horribly wrong at times"... VGChartz is a terrible source.

Really?
Even when the TC happens to be right?
Even when the PS3 is actually doing very well worldwide compared to the 360?

He was my character of choice in Soul Calibur 2 :P Really now? just accept the fact that you are wrong don't try to bend the truth in your favour. It's discrimination or prejudice not racism as racism like it has in its name is based on race.... Now what does america have to do with race build your vocab my friend. If you said racism was a form ofdiscrimination then youwould have a point

Also, if you add up VGChartz's OWN numbers, the total they give is wrong, and by a pretty big margin. If they cant even add their own numbers up what hope do they have? I'd also like to know where they get their data from for the countries they call 'other Europe'. :roll:Doctor-McNinja
Probably trying to get some hits on the site and we know how fanboys search the web every minute looking for anything to brag about.
