Anyone remember a while back when "statistical tie" was being mentioned repeatedly in the weekly number threads? Testicular pie maybe ring a bell? Well all this talk of "just barely" and "slim margin" brings the question of the statistical tie angle. I don't remember the % by which one had to win by to actually be considered a win. I remember there was a % just not what it was. And is this even still in play? Was that always just a VGC thing? Does MS consider finishing 5000 consoles ahead a victory or 5000 behind a loss? |
I'm sure MS would consider being ahead by any number a victory. However, it looks like the gap will be ~500K or so in the PS3's favor at the end of the year. I think this is one of the reasons we didn't see them mention being #1 WW in the November NPD response.
