| binary solo said: I just wanna call out a certain twitter response to Greenberg that suggested a significant, nay deliberate, undertracking bias against MS here at VGC, and I wanna say he better come here and be contrite to ioi et al for casting aspersions on their good names. Brilliant job ioi and VGC. But really it makes it all the more unfathomable that Greenberg felt compelled to diss VGC's week 1 for Americas and then a second time to diss the 10 day LTD. For what could be as little as a 5% difference between estimated and actual the fuss made to discredit VGC seems to be a totally disproportionate response. Keep the faith people. VGC numbers are nearly always within range. If ioi is pulling numbers out of his arse then he must have a pretty amazing arse; not that I'm interested in finding out for myself. |
Even NPD took a month buffer before reporting sales numbers.
One week, ten days, two weeks is a pretty tight time table to estimate the launch of a major new product given a limited sample of information.
Give the numbers about a month to normalize and allow for corrections before jumping to any conclusions.
