"Cherry picking is used metaphorically to indicate the act of pointing at individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position."

I read that somewhere.

I don't see how, with the Walmart sale, PS3 sales data did not really change from last week. This site ought to investigate to make sure its data is accurate. That's all I'm saying.

 


LOL, you're the one that posted that article about California Walmart sales.


 Let's make this clear.  I made the claim that the PS3 was selling out at SF Bay Area and LA/OC Walmart locations.  I know it is sold out in SF Bay Area because my friends have been going all over the place looking for some.  The article supports my LA/OC claim because, in the article, they make random sample calls to various SoCal Walmarts.  That's called statistical sampling.  NOW, to call that cherrypicking is to say this site's methodology is cherrypicking.

 WHEREAS, in an attempt to refute my claims that the PS3 was selling out at various California hotspots, you reply to me saying it is still available online.  What the eff does that have anything to do with what's going on in these California locales?  You cherrypicked something out of left field to try to discredit my claim.

Do we understand each other?

Do you understand that it's just as relevant as an article on one or two markets? That is, not at all?

WHEREAS both have nil value, his post is no more or less useful than yours. Resolved, getting on your high horse about people on the internet countering your crappy data with crappy data of their own is silly.

His post was tangential garbage that had no bearing on what I said.  You guys who defend him are just as clueless.

Where did I refute anything? I just said that you can still get the deal on their website.

All you are doing is presented a very limited data set anyways. IMO, the amount of data you are referencing is too small to draw any type of conclusion, at least on a national basis.

Great Wii numbers, I hope there were actually some units of Wii Fit available for sale.

So Wii > PS3 + 360 combined, and without Japanese data in yet. WW is assured.

Another victory for the Wii!

Wonder if you'll be able to say the same thing next week...


Either way, I wouldn't comment, because anyone who does is just setting themselves up for failure. It doesn't matter how many units MGS moves, lol, if Reggie ships more Wii's they will outsell it and I wouldn't be going all off about how the PS3 was gonna pwn the Wii when MGS4 comes out, tbh.



I don't need your console war.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
