| choirsoftheeye said: @NJ5 - I disagree - what it mathematically means, is that, at this point in time, the % of units sold of a given console is greater than the average of all previous weeks of this generation. If you want to include a bunch of 0%s then, yes, that is a skewed and somewhat useless figure. But if market share is increasing then, relative to the other consoles, sales of a given console are increasing. Gah, that wasn't particularly clear, but mathematically it's true. I have to do work now. |
It doesn't work just with zeros, that was just an easy extreme example to prove my point. I could give you an example with more realistic numbers but people are probably sick of my rambling by now :P
When you have the time, try simulating some scenarios with differently successful launches and you'll see what I mean.
