Forums - Sales - Others SW data: why only Top 50?

Faxanadu on 26 March 2008

ioi, why is others still only top 50? I mean in the WW charts you have the identical data all the way to 200 with sort function and all. Why not use that for others as well?

What do you mean, the data is included in the games that it is listed for, those games not in the top 50 in others have no sales data from others included. At the moment, weekly software only has 50 entries

you can see the top 150 if you look at the WW section. But it is not really the top 150. I would say that there is at least 25-40 games that would be in the top 150 that are not tracked as of yet. I believe the Others section is a long term goal for ioi.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

I imagine it is because they are not correct enough... the top 50 are there because for the most part they are correct and in the right order, ioi can track the better selling games more accurately and so the top 50 that you see is likely close to the real top 50.

Any games that sell below that may be accurate enough in themselves (which is why they are included in the WW totals) but there may be other European games that ioi has not included or can't yet track, which would take up those positions.

I think I may have just made a total mess of explaining it..

---------
put it like this:

VGC top 50: accurate enough, very few currently untracked games would make it into the top 50.

Real top 50: might show a few games that ioi doesn't have data for, but will generally look similar to VGC.
----
VGC below 50: each individual game will be ok, but some games will be missing.

Real below 50: the missing games would in reality be scattered all over the charts below the top 50, so games that ioi might have pegged at 100th in the chart, might in fact be 130th or lower.
