Probably because it's a poor representative of the market as a whole. Years ago TRU was the place to buy games, the selection was good and all major towns had a TRU, but now with Best Buy, Gamestop, Circuit City, WalMart it most regions the average gamer doesn't shop at TRU all that much anymore. |
If you think that i don't think you understand how this kind of things work. Also as for poor indicators... see Amazon.
The reason they arn't tracking them anymore is either Toys R US didn't send them info this month for some reason, or Toys R US ended their relationship deciding that their numbers were useless or too expensive for it to be usefull them.
Once you know where a retailer plays in the market, there numbers are usefull. Losing a long time piece of your puzzle hurts, because you have to now rechange your entire formula, not just the Toys R US portion.
Gaining and losing sources isn't something to be blown off... as it can take months before you get your numbers back to as accurate as they used to be.
Even if you just add sources in the short term it's going to lower your accuracy.
