    Default Is Casual Charts still tracking sales?

    http://www.casualcharts.com/

    Had a new game on Iwin making the top 100 and it didn't appear... wondering if this (cool) site is still running.

    It's not tracking sales for sure, just ranks... and I believe that since some time ago (probably over a year) it's not tracking ranks very accurately.

    Yeah, I meant chart positions. And it's definitely ommitting some data :/

    I queried James about it. It's still collecting data, but if any portals have changed their format, it will no longer get picked up. The default "world map" still has up-to-date data from several portals, and if you customize the options you can get some additional portals as well.

    In short, "new releases" is not working but "world map" (top 10 lists) is working for some portals.

    Well they aren't tracking Iwin's Top 100 for instance, and I don't think it changed... kinda odd.

    I can confirm that James hasn't updated the site scraping code in a while (I asked him a while back + he posted on here somewhere) so it isn't as good as it used to be. Still it's a decent record of how older games performed.
