One of the first rules of statistics is Correlation does not equate causation. If something is corellated it doesn't mean that they affect each other, it just means that they occationally moved in the same direction over a period of time...

so corellation of the sales of each console dies not mean that they affect each other in any meaningful way.

Which is why he probably needs to conduct a multiple regression analysis of said coefficents, and determine if the variables he was working with are a good fit. But that in its self is a very large can of worms i couldn't be arsed to open right now

@Squill seems like we're both in the same boat i aced Economics as well stats sunk like a rock..LOL

 

If you have the knowhow to build a multiple regression model to predict the outcome of the console wars, then you should be putting your talent to use in a business career instead of hanging out here :P
