Hey everyone. So it was brought to my attention that Vgchartz actually shows hardware sales for the upcoming week before they post them in charts via the hardware tools - http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_date.php

Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about this really so we'll just have to take it as is. Now we don't know how accurate that preliminary graph is but because everyone has access to it I'll be lowing the maximum amount of points you can get for hardware whilst at the same time keeping the negative points that you can get the same.

New hardware point structure will be as follows. 

If your prediction is within .5% of the actual amount, you will get 10 points
If your prediction is within 2% of the actual amount, you will get 4 points
If your prediction is within 4% of the actual amount, you will get 2 points
If your prediction is within 12% of the actual amount, you will get 1 point
If your prediction is over 50% off from the actual amount, you will get -2 points
If your prediction is over 80% off from the actual amount, you will get -5 points

 

Remember this is only for hardware numbers. Software numbers will remain the same as before.
