| PooperScooper said: Auron - Ive been singing that tune for the last week now. I say he shouldn't change ANY numbers and only go by his samples. OR if he changes numbers change them for ALL the other tracking sites. I've been arguing with morons for a while about it. You won't win Auron. It's a lost cause. When you say "If he changes them for Jap and Others he should change them for NPD" They respond with "Why? he might not think NPD's numbers are accurate and if he goes by NPD he shouldn't do what he does. He wants to go by his own samples" Then you respond with "then dont change them at all. He should go by his own samples and not change them for Japan or Others" Them - "But his numbers aren't accurate in Japan or Others since he doesn't have big enough coverage there" Me - "Then he should change them to a groups numbers in NA who has bigger coverage and are more accurate" Back to the begining. |
The reason they don't blindly adjust for NPD is because the last two times Ioi did adjust for NPD... NPD turned out to be wrong and screwed up VGchartz numbers.
While this isn't true with the other tracking sites.
In other words, NPD is much less accurate tracking america then Charttrack, Mediacreate and Famitsu are at tracking their respective regions.
Of course you need to wait about a month or so before you adjust for mediacrate and famitsu. Since if they make a mistake one week they "make up" for it the next week by adding sales, rather then adjusting figures.
If you were an investor who does it yourself and had an advisor for Stocks, one for bonds and one for mutal funds are you a hypocrite if you take some advice from the stocks guy and the mutal fund guy but not the bonds guy... eve if the bonds guy consistantly steers you wrong?
