I have to agree, I generally defend journos when the lol gaming journalism crowd comes but this is a big goof which is entirely the authors faultLet's be clear. It's perfectly fine to laugh at an outlet when they're straight up wrong about something. Lol.
Do you eat shit?
lets be honest, it probably didn't sell 1000 copies
The problem is that, every time he does something like this Devil's Third article, it makes it that much harder to take stuff like his Konami article seriously without suspecting that he might be bullshitting there too.(And before you keep shitting all over Ashcraft, at least check out one of the other stories he ran this morning, an extensive look at more of Konami's horrible practices based on some good original reporting.)
They posted a correction. Calm down.
I mean sure Kotaku was totally wrong in regards to their figures but let's be real: It's not like it would rank too highly on the sales charts if it could anyway

wowowowBrian Ashcraft should stick to his blog like stories about how lucky he is to be in Japan and has married a Japanese woman and that his kids are so Japanese that they don't even speak English.
Game Bloggu parody of Ashcraft was on point.
A Japanese meal with a Japanese wife and a son who is -- regrettably -- half-Japanese; could life get any better?
wowowow
wowowow
A correction that invalidates the entire premise of the article, so why leave the post up at all? Kotaku is terrible.
It's a case of![]()
Lowest number in the charts is 1006 copies and since it didn't enter they assumed it sold less than that, without knowing that m-c/famitsu doesn't track Amazon sales. It could've sold just 1 copy, but also 2000 copies. Kotaku is gonna Kotaku.
Sounds more like something Polygon would do.

Because we see removing posts as shitty and dishonest and believe that we should acknowledge our fuck-ups instead of pretending they didn't happen. Sorry you don't like Kotaku.

Bashcraft is about as unreliable as it gets with Japanese news.

This. This is what you're supposed to do as a journalist. You don't just ignore your mistakes as that completely ruins your credibility. You correct it.

Kotaku made an honest mistake. Time to ridicule them forever.
