"Advanced sales for the game title InFamous for Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 increased this week at retailer Amazon.com. On Mon., the title held a 147 percent increase in sales."

Sweet! Is it possbile to see how many pre-orders Amazon.com have? Since 150% could be an increas from 1 to 2.5 games :) Article also said infamous currently hold no.67 in most pre ordered games.

So it went from 1 pre order to 147?

If its sales changed by 147%, it sold 1.47 copies, if they increased 147%, then they sold 2.47 copies

How do you sell 1.47 copies of anything?

Well it is far more likely they went from something like 100 to 247, and obviously it is not exact, they can't sell 1.47

I wrote Increased, not change. And how do you figure that an increas of 147% is 2.47 copies? Isnt the percentile in relation to the current amout the game has been pre ordered?

 

If i have 2 shoes, and i increase my shoe inventory by 100% id have 4 shoes?

But if i had 10 shoes and i increased my shoe inventory by 100% id have 20 shoes?

 

So how do you get the number 2.47 copies?

147% of 1 copy is 1.47, so if you increase by that you get 2.47
