Well I'd like it to be accurate too but likewise people shouldn't be celebrating their console doing so well on the tracker for months like October or November when it's pretty obvious it does't reflect reality. If we didn't have this tracker we could have proper conversations in October, November and December about who's going to do what, but because we have it and it seems to favor the Switch it's hard to have that conversation because so many are convinced Switch will win October for example. Now the guy who works it is doing a good job and it seems for normal months of the year it can be a reliable means but in months like October (BO4 & RDR2) or November (BF) with have to look at the bigger picture. |
Tool was solid accurate before, and Switch making so huge difference compared to Switch looked like sure victory for month based on previous accuracy of tool, so you can't really blame people.
On other hand you start trashing tool on another forum saying "They are a waste of time lately trying to predict NPD and I'm not sure why they're taken seriously" and calling its "extremely biased towards Nintendo". But that really just tells more about you than anything else.
