>Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: Here it is. The hardcore gamer's game for the Wii. It's logged 4,113,000 hours of total play time by Nintendo Channel users. The average total playtime for a gamer who owns MP3 is 21 hours and 16 minutes, meaning people are playing this thing to the end. They do it across 9.9 sessions. And if you start doing some fancy math with the numbers in this entry and the ones above, you may notice that the casual games seem to get played an average of an hour per session. But this hardcore game ropes in its players for two hours at a time.
now, I'm not great at math, but from those numbers... it states only around 200K MP3 was sold? Or else people simply bought MP3, but never played it??
Please explain it to me. |
Explained.
It only includes people who:
1. Have the game.
2. Have the Nintendo Channel
3. Have agreed to show their playtime using the Nintendo Channel.

then the question will become, how good a representation this number is? I mean, if Fox has a pull of their viewer who they will vote for in the next election, I am sure McCain's name will show up. But how is that comparing to what's the MAIN market is?
Yes, gamers who CHOSE to have their number showed up in Nintendo Channel, aren't exactly soccer mom or retire home users. Then those numbers are grossly inaccurate.

Those numbers aren't inaccurate, it's an evaluation of the data based off of the people who, like TWRoO, explained:
1. Have the game.
2. Have the Nintendo Channel
3. Have agreed to show their playtime using the Nintendo Channel.
It's not meant to be data that represents each and every Wii owner who has any particular game. Read it as, the play/usage data for the people who own/rent and played Metroid Prime 3 for over an hour and agreed to the aforementioned stipulations.
As long as you know it's only date derived from that particular group MP3 players, then the information is in no way inaccurate.
