If you had a PhD in math something would be very, very wrong....

Yeah, looking at rage4dorder's degree he could probably teach me a thing or two or three or pi about math. (my degree is EE too, I just had a late start - no math degree though )

Only because you asked nicely ...

Percentages are the most evil of mathematical expressions.

They can make things sound great, when in fact the result is very much lackluster.

For instance. Let's say I have 9 pieces of pie and you have 1 piece. Together we have 10 pieces which is 100%. I have 90% and you have 10%.

I suddenly get 7 more pies and you get 3, which means I have 16 pies and you have 4.

Although I am getting more and more pies than you, your percentage just went up and mine went down!!!

I now have 80% while you have 20% ... absurd, isn't it?!?

So, it was you that took all the pies!


 No, he only took 80% of the pies

 And just to add, since the total number of sold consoles is only increasing (unless there was some major recall), you'll find that these percentages will take a lot more (or a lot less) for a notable "shift" in percentage over time towards the end of the gen.
