Vena said: Nah its still PR, as I've said in the other thread, they are hiding their numbers behind averages. The other thread is just more spin, the Halo numbers were especially eggregious of the fact because it was comparing mismatched install bases, and Halo 3/Reach did not require online play and were, quite literally, untrackable if offline. Never trust averages without medians. Never trust medians without averages. Its a bit sad, though, because Bungie actually gave a good number way back in the day on Halo 3 when they said that even 1 year later, it had a daily million+ users. Not averages. Not buillshit. Just good old hard numbers. Anyone who gives nothing but an average, is someone with nothing of worth to say. That's the basis of PR. |
Hidding?
Avg. user per day is a metric used since the Halo 2... they even have this list in the own site for the Halo 3... they just are that opened to stats.
If you have a average of 3.2 million unique players per day that means one day it have over that... that means the sales are huge... there is no spin in this number lol
