Why are you here? All you contribute is the same nonsense everyday....

It's simple math. 60%NPD > VGC's <10%

and you're silly for not thinking people would question it if it was someone else. Ive seen multiple times "I wonder what IOI is going to do about this"


I'm only going to respond to this one and then, because this has been gone over so many times. You need to take a statistics course. 10% of the market can show very reliable sales trends, and ioi has proved it over and over again. It's not simple math either. More of the market doesn't mean you are getting a better sample.

And maybe you should start a thread asking which of us should leave. And whoever has more votes, should leave. Or at least not post anymore. Or whatever. 


yes, you could use 10% of the market to represent the whole, but unfortunatelly poorscooper is right. 60% of the market can give better estimates and representation of the whole market with less degree of errors.  The smaller your sample, the larger your room for error, the larger your sample, the smaller the room for error.
