| Steve 3.2 said: Average selling price may not be a good representation of actual prices paid. Huh, you say? Well one or two auctions/sellers could really throw off what a game may truly be worth, especially on eBay where unopened and 'mint' copies sometimes command a premium. So let's say five copies of SMB sold on eBay for $1, $2, $3, $4, and $20. The average price is $6. All but one sold for less than that, however. The median price was $3 which may be a better number for these purposes. |
This is why highest and lowest amounts are thrown out in some statistics, since they would skew the numbers.
A good example is that the upper class is not taken into account for national wages, since that would obviously make it look as though middle class people are earning more.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
