Black Friday is tough to track, with all the variable traffic and sales.

Wow, we screwed up bigtime this week !!

Looks like Black Friday, regional bias, store bias, sales etc skewed our data to the extent that it was miles off.

Seems we need to increase our data sources... things are so different from store to store that all I did was tweak 2 variables and came out with the current data. Seems the extrapolation system is not that robust to events like Black Friday.

I predicted this would happen... Software sales will be especially hard to track, don't you think so ioi?

Looks like PS3 sales are higher since (sony said a 285% increase)

And wii sales are slightly lower(since ninty said about 350k)

*Chokes on cereal*

684k?

Out of interest are you taking into account that Ninty has said lower sales for this week (@350k)?

Interesting. But Black Friday only occurs once a year. Good luck with your diagnostics though.

There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.

If Sony or MS have the balls to release their real numbers, not phoney baloney percentages, I'm sure Ioi would be happy to adjust.

so, what happens now since the data has been skewed? are they going to be removed? or is there a way to fix the problem?
