drkohler said: US = mathematical models fitting previous years to this year EU and Others = mathematical models fitting previous years to this year This is the reason vgchartz is getting more and more off the track. Previous years saw predictable increases year over year. There is no model available for declining markets (due to whatever reasons like saturation, still rising economic troubles, tablets, etc). |
I'm sure VGC have some retails source in US... some access to stores at least... the rest is like you said.
But seems werid because the YoY drop showed by VGC maths is way bigger than the real one... the market is not declining too fast like many here thinks... it is a normal 10-20% drop for PS360 and not 30-40% drop like VGC shows... that was the biggest mistake here.
The overall games sales drop in the world (NPD, GFK, etc) is more because the Wii U is not selling like the Wii... or 3DS like the DS... or PSV like the PSP... the PS3 and 360 are fine and showing gret legs with little drop over the years.
