but I don't engage someone who comes at me like a complete weasel. I read the article completely and I still don't think the author was discrediting VGChartz altogether. He was cautioning against taking their numbers too seriously. In fact, it was more of a caution to writers and researchers than it is to regular message board geeks who want an idea of how their favorite game is doing.

Here's a quote:

"There's a place for a resource like VGChartz, but it'd be a site that clearly labels the source of its estimates (whether it be Chart-Track, NPD, Media Create - even if some of those sources have poor data dissemination and a fractious relationship with the media) and then labels which are its own estimates based on its own industry knowledge and whatever channel checks it has.

But if I was a writer or analyst trying to extrapolate significant information from the resource, especially regarding those titles which don't chart regularly, given the major discrepancies with other figures shown here, I would not recommend it."
