I think this would probably be the best way to construct a Top 10 (or 20 or whatever) list -- aggregate the top seller lists from as many web retailers as possible.

From these three charts, it appears that "Pirates" and "Swallow My Squirt" should be at the top of the chart. They are the only titles to appear on all three. It is interesting that "Neu Wave Hookers" is not on any of the charts.




Agreed re: aggregate chart...obviously, there are certain things which will skew it (like retailer exclusive titles), but it should give a fairly clear (or at least clearer) picture.

The lack of Neu Wave Hookers is down to one of two things 1) It came and went like the flash in the pan it was (and McKai is) or 2) AVN's charts are total bullshit. Hell, it may be down to both of those things.

I don't yet have the technological know how of how to do it, and I don't know if you do either Snowman, but I figure there must be some way of perhaps setting up some sort of RSS Feed from the retailers for the charts, then having the results aggregated on a points-for-position rating scale.

It should also be pointed out, before we both read too much into these things, that these are merely sales positions (and thus do no correlate with each other from site to site). As such, what's number 1 on Jaded Video might have only sold enough copies to make it number 32 on Gamelink or ADE. Even so, I think this is a far more reliable guide than the AVN charts...

If anyone out there knows a way of setting this idea up, I'd definitely be interested in hearing more and participating with it.
