| Soriku said: Knowing a lot of variables will just help you make a good prediction. Predicting lifetime sales early is kind of stupid but I guess you could use trends to find a possible range for LTD. Like, people were predicting 100 mil plus for the Wii for a few years and it's going to hit that mark. You can also tell a good number of times if something will end up being big and selling. But ultimately it's better to know more variables and if you don't, who knows how you'll predicting will turn out since things can change... |
true, predictions are lousy without that much information, but does that mean you can't make a prediction because you don't know all the variables? A prediction is just a guess, the more educated the guess, the better it is, but it doesn't mean you can't make a guess because you don't know enough.
