Will Switch outsell DS? PS2? Or Neither? (March 2024 Update Poll)

[XtremeBG]

The point still stands, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly, is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than only quarterly. Especially when you work with data every week and every month. But even without that, It's way easier to calculate whatever you want to calculate and make estimation, with much more detailed data, that is less than 1% off, then it's with data once per every three months that is 100% accurate. Also Shippments are decided by Nintendo themselves, but sales are decided by customers. So when there are periods when the customer interest drops about one system you will first see it in the sales, and at the end of the quarter, 1 month after the quarter has ended and the manufacturer has put the report out, then you can see the drop in the shipments for the given quarter. So you can make your estimates or you can see the uprising or the downpath way sooner with the sales data, than to wait as long as 3 full months to see it on the report. Again aside from one off cases, the data here has always been on point with negligible differences that are pointless to even talk about. For the price of under 1% inacuracy you get data much more often, and you get data even for manufacturers who don't put reports out. I won't comment on the topic how ridiculous is to use one website daily, be active member and poster, and don't believe and debate the data the site is putting out. It's like working for a company and everyday threw bad words for it. Or having a girlfriend and don't trust her, or throwing bad words at her while you are together in the relationship.
