Which of these would you prefer to model mathematically?

I'm seeing only one very simplified model that only accounts for one of the movements for each of the bodies.

I'm seeing two models.

And considering you were very fast on finding a simulation of it I would guess it isn't quite as hard the graph suggests.

No, both models are achievable mathematically but one is much easier to work with than the other.

Try making a difference in the complication between both assumptions when considering the trillions of stars in the universe, basically indiferent

Of course, with regards to the Universe, both are insignificant but consider that the Sun's mass accounts for over 99% of the solar system's mass, the sun's gravity is going to reign supreme. It only makes sense that the sun be allocated the center of the solar system. The solar system's center of mass/center of gravity is sitting right by the center of the sun.

Well some see these long lines as a good sign and I think it's safer to get a hard number out of Sony rather than relying on anecdotal evidence.

Obviously but PSVR needs adoption for it to be successful: developers aren't gonna hop on if there isn't much adoption so it might benefit PSVR customers and developers if Sony were to announce figures. Last I checked, Sony hasn't given PSVR numbers when they're more than happy to announce PS4 numbers.

My question is why?

The answer is self evident.  Companies love to share good numbers, but will do anything to avoid sharing bad ones.  So, while we don't know what the number is, we can safely say that Sony thinks the number is small.  That's just basic PR.

I suspected as such.

 

But hey, there's hundreds of people in these photos! Not dozens, hundreds!
