We made these prediction in April, but the percentages are based off total sales, and so this doesn't really mean anything.
For example, if total DS sales were 40 million when the predictions were made, and someone picked 55 million for DS, that's a fantastically, embarrassingly terrible prediction. They were predicting 15 million more sales, and there were actually 25 million more sales, a 40% difference! But they are credited with a 15.5% difference, as a percentage of the LTD sales. Basically as if they had predicted sales through Xmas 2007 before DS's launch.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
