Forums - Sales Discussion - In progress NPD predicting tool

So it seems the MK8 bundle is #1 on retailers. What a day!!



Around the Network

While the tool worked most of the previous months, it has failed for October, and is going to fail spectacularly for November.

According to Benji Amazon has around 20% of sales which should be its weight. And something must be done for those numerous Xbox bundles.



So, I feel like I got to ask... did something happen between this time last year to now for Benji? Like does he have better data or sources now or something?

He's the guy that ended up being wrong last year and became conservative with what he shares right? Why is he making definitive claims now?

Yea I don't get it, last year ps4 beat switch by 900k and  he wasn't sure ps4 would so clearly his data is missing huge chunk of valuable info.

 

I'm not what the obsession with making a prediction tool just wait for npd and save your time because there will never be a reliable tool imho.

Yes, changes have to be made for holidays, I just don't have time right now. With Amazon at 20% tool would have been wrong since the beginning...

Obsession ? No, it is just really fun to try and build something from scratch. Will it ever be 100% reliable ? No, but that was made clear from the beginning.

If you arent interested, then just stay away from the discussion. It's not hard, and that would most certainly save us all time.

Will after October the tool has proved that it's kinda useless imo but since you guys enjoy it, and he enjoys doing the work then yea I won't be posting here no more after this post.
