Forums - Sales Discussion - New Sales Articles Ideas

I know my idea is abnormal. Why not make some sort of sale prediction data of next year. For sales data (dependent variable) we will use some other input (independent variables) like price cut and other facts. Its kinda like regression analysis. It will be cool to predict future sales.

actually your idea is too normal Lol, if there is a sales there should be a sales forecast. that's a common on industry. Actually i really want to see VGchartz forecast sales compare to what Pachter prediction. 



More long term prediction threads, like where everyone will be in 5 or 10 years

And oh great, the last thing we need is another gaming channel doing exactly the same thing as a million other channels: LP of Minecraft and trying to be funny



In that same article (PS4 v X1 v WiiU LT sales), I'd love to also see a graph with aligned launches.

Also, a graph comparing combined HW sales of last and current gens would be sweet.

Thanks for the effort!

I for one would love to see Wii U vs GameCube sales, but I don't think we have the data for the GC? I guess you also could do something similar with actual video games; comparing sales of new releases in a franchise. How is SM3DW comparing to SM3DL or Galaxy? things like that.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Why do they always play minecraft or the same game the few big stars of youtube play and force themselves to talk like them? Why not carve out your own audience and niche by doing something original.

As I'm sure you noticed your idea about comparing the combined 7th gen sales vs the combined 8th gen sales was picked as the first new article. It has been really popular among the readers, so it will definitely become a monthly article.

As I saw suggested in the comments I'll add a PS4+X1 vs PS3+X360 chart for the October update.

Thanks for that! Really interesting to see.
