Zod95 said: So the total number is the way we see how close each person was? Why not summing the differences between each prediction and the actual value? The way it is right now I could say 9M for PS4, 11M for WiiU and 18.5M for XOne and would be totally accurate...far more than someone saying 18M for PS4, 9.5M for WiiU and 12M for XOne. Does it make sense? |
I can it's just gonna take more time, unless someone wants to volunteer. I just don't have the time atm.
I guess I didn't see a problem with overall because nobody made outlandish predictions, but I see your point!
Edit - I did the tables in a rush because you were asking for them, but even looking at the winner you're right, he's way out. So I've taken them down and will have to re o the calculations when I get the time.
