| DKII said: Legend: Just because you don't like the conclusion, you shouldn't just come in here criticizing the site with absolutely zero basis. This is an average so unless you are trying to claim that there's some systemic bias in our data that overestimates Wii games and underestimates 360/PS3 games in the long term (in which case how about showing some evidence instead of making unsubstantiated accusations) then the conclusion drawn here is mostly valid - in general, Wii games have double the legs of 360/PS3 games. |
I look at the adjustments being made and I feel they give a basis to conclude that the long term numbers may not be accurate enough to draw any real conclusions from, at least nothing like this thread is claiming. We do see games that have legs in the top 10 or 40 but for the most part other than very few games like Wii brand and other Nintendo titles, along with Mario & Sonic and a few casual games, we have nothing to show that the majority of games follow the same trend.
Feel free to shoot the messenger but I want ask you how do you know that they are accurate enough that you criticize the point I'm trying to make? I mean we see discrepancies with top 10 (and others not in the top 10) every month but somehow the numbers get accurate after the games leave the charts? You know where the amount off becomes even more important when we're talking about even smaller quantities. Fifty thousand or even hundreds of thousands off on a game just launched might not be a big deal but even 2 or 3 thousand off on a weekly basis on an older game can make a dramatic difference.
