They seem to do the most random surveys so I just assumed they were mostly independent. It seems odd that clients would ask for stuff like "How many Assassin's Creed purchases on 360 will be buying Assassin's Creed 2 on PS3" and vice versa. I guess I just wish I had more data on their methods as 1000 gamers (of which not all were GT5 planned buyers, that much is clear), that doesn't seem like much of a good representation of the full picture. |
ok whatever. I'm not going to pretend to know how they do it so I can't answer your questions. But keep in mind that if you and r505 are just going to ignore it (not saying you aren't justified), then neither of you really have any business dealing in predictions because the entire tracking industry is based off of these kinds of surveys. Whether or not their information is resulted from direct research, or whether it was a funded study or what, is beside the point, honestly. This could be run-off information, or even a singular data-gatherers side-project or interest, or even just brand exposure. To me it doesn't really matter. It's obvious that potential gt5 owners (or any other big exclusive) don't yet own the system.
