The UK is absolutely ridiculous, or Gfk have no fucking idea what they're doing.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

GFK covers 90%... not 100%.

Seems fine for all.


GFK covers 90%?  why?  why dont they simply extrapolate?

 

Because GFK works just with known numbers... the data is collected each week from 7,000 retail outlets representing 90% of the UK software market... the other 10% of UK market is unknown... they prefer not extrapolate.

Forza 4 is doing really well in the uk!

and unlike most of the games above it, it's full price (AFAIK)
