If you had just guessed +100% on PS3 sales, due to Sony's public comments that sales doubled at top retailers after the cut, and taken the rest of that list, you would have beat VgChartz handily.. That is what I mean when I say a good educated guesser can beat Vgchartz.. |
Man, get over yourself, seriously.
Anybody could have guessed the PS3. That's why VGChartz did. So you wouldn't have beaten VGChartz at all with that round +100% "prediction": you would have missed by 4% where VGChartz missed by 3.
The real outliers are the Wii, that had a 33% increase in shipments, and the 360 that didn't drop at all and stayed above the PS3, when everyone and their mothers expected it not to. Nobody, no analist, no fansite, no nothing predicted these two things. Would you have guessed them? Based on what, your whishful thinking? Then please do so, and consistently, not once - then people might care.
IMHO this month was definitely worse for VGChartz than last month was. Stating otherwise... sounds a lot like spin to me, but I'm fine with that. These are still decent numbers for what they are, and no random dude is about to over predict them consistently, based on no inside info at all.
