So you are saying that the only way I can make a post or thread is to
ACTUALLY KNOW with 100% certainty - all the numbers.

That means, that this whole site should be shut down because they are also ASSUMING and EXTRAPOLATING their numbers. Is that your position?

Like I mentioned previously (I just hope you understand it) - I NEVER claimed that I am correct. This is how you would do an analysis.

If you have never done something like this, admit it and just say you can't do it.

But if you can do an analysis like this, then show us how you do it, with actual number or "assumptions", then back up whatever it is you want to say.

 

 Difference between this and the site

The site has news, manufactures, other tracking places for help.

You only have half data from the companies and assume 20 different things to get your numbers

The site assume one number. You assume a hole bunch

The last thread you created was locked "You analysist is a joke" < that was the reason. This is also a joke.

I am assuming less than VGChartz.  I am assuming a few variables, whereas this site assumes, extrapolates hundreds of data points.

See, the logic goes like this.

If 1 individual store or retailer (out of thousands)  reports that they sell 5 consoles, then VGChartz has to extrapolate that all other stores are selling X number of consoles as well.  And that is just for 1 console.  REPEAT for all consoles and all games - that's a lot of assumptions.

VGChartz is even harder (AND IT DOES A WONDERFUL AND EXCELLENT JOB AT IT), because now they have to coordinate numbers between sources, individual stores, manufacturers, distributors, etc.

Do you see how that works?
