maybe because it isn't cherry picking to talk about the percentual change which shows much better the change of the success of a product/country/whatever? if ford would lose 3% of customers and porsche would lose 60%, ford would have lost many more customers and you will tell me porsche's situation would be better because of that? no, porsche's situation would be worse, customers lost their interest much more in porsche than in ford even with a lower decline in sales numbers. or compare usa with netherlands. if usa's gnp would grow 1.5 percent and netherlands would grow 15 percent, usa's would grow more in raw numbers, but who would have the better situation? |
That's just a strawman arguement, in this case the percentile change doesn't show how much vgchartz has overtracked the 360 compared to the ps3 any better then just posting the actual numbers.
This month in america vgchartz has overtracked the 360 by 52,000 which is 22% overtracked.
The ps3 is overtracked anything from 22,000 to 54,000 which is 11%-32% overtracked.
Using the actual real numbers the gap of overtracking is either roughly the same or in the Ps3's favour. Using the Percentile numbers it could be above, below or the same and nobody has a clue.
