| Dark_Feanor said: You guys assume too much based on VGChartz numbers. They are only a guess, and probally wrong most of the time. But I´m looking foward for week with "statistical ties" all over again. It will be much fun from any side of the discusion. Because people realy belive VGChartz can track every single console sold WW to the unit precision each week. |
What are you on about? This week, 4 Oct, IS a statistical tie. It's the whole reason for half the discussion on this thread, most weeks the gap is so big that even vgc's essential inaccuracy cannot be used to claim xb one may have won the week. This time the gap is so small there is good reason to suppose the positions could be reversed by future adjustments because the margin for error far exceeds the numerical gap, and that is the very definition of a statistical tie. If the MoE is 20% then the true ps4 sales is 90% likely to fall within the range of 148k to 222k, and xb one is likely to fall in the range of 142k to 215. That is a massive overlap and unless future adjustments widen the gap significantly you might as well call I even.
But for the purposes of this discussion it's all about the number on the front page right now.
