Sorry but 7.7 is rounded to 8 and not 7 lol

If I'm not wrong the reviews use a 1-10 grade scale... so the average is 8.


Why for the love of god are you working in subset 10, and rounding to whole intergers? 77 is a 77 is a 77. This is not calculator limited to one digit nor are we integer limited, our brains can handle floating point operations and doubles.

Metacritic reviews based on 0/100, reivews go from 0/10 on a decimal scale. Whether you write 7.7/10 or 77/100, is the same.

A 77 is a C.

Considering the advertising budget, not at all.

77 is C lol lol lol

You really don't have any ideia what your are talking about... and I used the 1-10 scale because it is the STANDARD in reviews.

BTW

41 reviews give 8+
37 reviews give 8-

Face it... Destiny received good scores.

Well but after the 77 is C laugh I understand you will try to spin again.

why bother with the 10% digital.  A) that is a baseless assumption and B) xbox one and ps4 have the highest digital distribution sales rates of any console so whatever you think you're going to add to mk sales the reality is destiny's contribution is even higher.


why should i not bother about 500k sales?

and the assumption is not baseless.

watch_dogs did ~ 10% of its sales digital on next gen consoles

 

and i did not even talked about mk sales, just destiny ps4 numbers


because "So, Destiny for PS4 < Mario kart 8" is the same bet as "So, Destiny for PS4 * 1.1 < Mario kart 8 * 1.1"...


yes, but that was not the point

it was this: will destiny on ps4 sell 5m ltd end of 2014 yes or not

 

so 5m retail only or including digital.

and to be fair, it should include digital.

 

5m retail only is even more ridiculous

I know you generally make terrible predictions but damn, this is a new low, you're basically expecting every wiiu owner to get mario kart, lehmao.

People are underestimating Destiny legs. PS4 version alone will outperform MK8 LTD.


You can't underestimate what doesn't exist, and the returns will do into Activisions bottom-line as they struggle to sell off that initial 500$ million shipment.


No, once again that's just wishful thinking on your part.

Grading schemes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_the_United_States (I can tell you, now, that anywhere else in the world it would be even stricter.) Have fun.

You really should read what I wrote: Review operate on a 0/10 system in DECIMAL scale. 8.1 is the same as 81, so long as the scale is adjusted. It literally means the same thing. Reviews do not give INTEGER results only, they work in fractionals. So whether or not you work in set 10 or set 100, it makes no difference because they literally mean the same thing. A 7.7/10 is the same as a 77/100, neither is an 8/10.

41/37 of over 8, when the subsequent 37 have so much lower weight that bring the overall biased sum down to below 8, tells you far more than there being more 8s than sub-8s. But please, do go on.

There s literally no spin in that post, I am explaining how fractions work to you.

Wait there is a good picture that shows what you are doing...

But I don't blame you... it is just how you are educated lol.

BTW I don't need to be explained when the right mathematical way to round a 7.7 is 8.
