I said almost. I didn't say aprox.

Whats with all the attacks.

Infamous held up very well and sold almost 100 percent of the previous week.

We are back at square one. That's the whole problem and it is still there.

No one questioned Infamous had a very good hold but 80% is not equal to "almost 100 percent". It's actually pretty far away from 100 percent. 20% is a big difference in any statistic sense.

Why do you care ?

1. I don't like people exaggerate things.

2. I like being right.

Almost is a relative term I think. If you are considering week 2 sales to week 1 sales then 80% seems like almost 100% to me. If you are comparing year end sales to company forecasts then 20% is quite a way off and so is not almost. If you are comparing the difference between two teams in a match with ended 5-4 then it was almost a draw even though one scored 20% less than the other.

Hahaha! Good one!

No one in his right mind would say 4/5 = 1!

Basically you are saying that if a game sells 100,000 units in week 1 and 80,000 units in week 2, it sells almost 100% in week 2 as it sold in week 1. Or 1 million in week 1 then 800,000 in week 2. This is just not something I can agree on.

I find it interesting that the xbox 360 while in last place in Japan, it's still holding its own at 1/2 PS3 sales and 1/3 Wii sales.

This is VGC... Video Game Chartz. This is what we discuss. And 20% is a large difference, indeed, a fifth of the maximum possible difference, and the difference between a good second week and an astounding 2nd week.
