| wcwif said: that is right. i am the same guy that posted the canada #s. my question to you is what is wrong with raising questions? is this blind faith we are all to have here? jeeze. the only point i am making is there is no way we will be taken serious if we always adjust to others numbers. this basically means we are shoplifting data does it not? i don't know for sure but that is how it appears to bloggers. i am only asking. questions like this will make us better. |
Well I checked your posts [the first one] and I am sorry, you were not claiming wild innacuracies like I remember, but you did post US only numbers and claim them to include Canada, which they didn't (NPD Canada was out about 5-6 days later I think) I think you may be right to ask such questions, but using a rumour from another forum about how ioi gets his numbers is surely based much less on fact than our own faith in them. ioi adjusts only when needed, which lately [past 3-4 months] is almost never. It is not shoplifting numbers because firstly they are free for the public to see and use anyway, and secondly they are [were] only used to adjust ioi's calculations from his own hard numbers, which should help serve the purpose of not needing to adjust in the future. edit: can I also ask who you were previously because you said something about a new account in your first post?
