| mrstickball said: Sega could base it on retailer re-orders of stock. e.g: 50,000 units get sold on the first order to all retailers. One week later, 10,000 units are reordered for stores. I am sure there is a formula that can derive sellthrough based on retailer demand after launch. |
However, sellthrough would be even more vulernable then NPDs methods with niche games.
With 10 million, you can be sure there aren't 3 million on shelves.
With 200K, 60K could very well be on shelves considering how many stores there are.
