Even then, how can we be sure it was a boycott and just not fans not wanting a game they are getting tired of?
I mean my thing I was talking about was the line being invisible on an individual basis, but that seems like a flawed example.
Well, we can't really PROVE it. We can just infer it. If people were going to stop buying Madden in massive numbers because they're "getting tired of it" that would have happened already. I think it's safe to say that people aren't getting tired of it at this point.
I mean, you're basically saying "Well how can we be sure the black woman who rode the bus to work every day and then suddenly stopped because of a widely promoted boycott didn't just get tired of riding the bus?"
Some of it requires a bit of a common sense approach and a judgment call, you know?
