| LastManStanding said: To Kasz216: The survey was made by “TNS Sofres”, whitch, at least that’s what they claim, is the leading french and the second worldwide group on Market research and opinion. I thing they know what their doing. And I thing that all the ones that pay them a lot of money belive the same. Witch doesn’t mean they are 100% right. To everyone that recognize themselves below: I don’t know why so many people are upset here. Ranting that others rant. With that attitude your only turning yourself into what your criticizing. It’s not because someone point out a possible error on VGChartz, that hes saying - everything is wrong, burn the site. I do recognize the effort put on this site. But there are some indication that at least in france Diomedes may be right. Is it so disturbing for you guys that maybe, just maybe, Diomedes is not talking with a voice in is head. |
Yeah, and this is a throw away survey not even worthy of money, hence why it's free. Trust me i've had plenty of classes in this... as it is the field I'm majoring in more or less.
That isnt' close to any REAL study a company like that would do... and is far less accurate in how many consoles have been sold then projection research like the ones done on this site. You could email TNS and they would tell you the exact same thing. There are a lot of weaknesses with this kind of survey instead of tracking numbers.
Also they'd tell you any "research" like this is pretty much worthless unless you have the full journal right up, with methods, a copy of the survey and a confidence interval.
It's likely they were just using it as a "hey we can do this kinda work" report and cutting the teeth of a few newbies on it and hoping some comapnies bite at the numbers to buy the whole report.
Even if was the same methods i might trust Ioi anyway, it coming from the french branch. Heh, bad statistics joke, but back in the day they would run expierements and falsefy data more than any other country just to prove that genetically the french were born the best.
