Ok, I'l stick with percentages and never complain again. Here is my final example as to why I dislike percentages.

Here is the sales figures for 3 beer companies during 2008:

- Carlsberg sold 1,000,000 units

- Harp sold 50 units

- Guiness sold 1 unit

Here is the sales figures for 2009 sales:

- Carlsberg sold 1,200,000 units Grown by 200,000 units / Grown by 20%

- Harp sold 50 units Grown by 0 units / 0%

- Guiness sold 2 units Grown by 1 unit / 100%

 

So who has grown the most? And can you imagine the press releases from each of these companies. Even though only one company did good, all three of them could make it out as if they did well. (and note, there is probably some maths mistakes in there).

 

Dude, we know you are a huge sony apologist but spare us your kindergarden logic.

No one here is using percentages to hide anything, kowenicki's strong argument is that despite the huge falloff on sales, the distance between the consoles remains the same both in strong and weak market conditions.

You've been spamming propaganda all over, chill for a bit OK? All propaganda accounts eventually get banned outta the forum or laughed off until they either quit vgchartz or make a new account and start behaving differently.
