Your reading comprehension is awful if you can't even remember what the dude you are referencing posted himself. When does "about half"=sold half?

Wow what an extreme difference that would make.

All I said is was we have no idea how he is basing whatever numbers he came up with, and this other analyst used trophy data among others to come up with whatever they did.

What other analyst?

I'm not sure you still understand what Ahmad's role is. He isn't an insider or a video game reporter. He is a source of information. That the industry itself uses. He has data that Square-Enix provides him. He provides that data to video game publishers, reporters, investors and people that pay their company to share trends, data and analysis.

This is on their website. Have you looked at it? Do you know that this is literally the foundation of their business? Do you think that people pay them to google and look at trophy data?

How do you know? lol. I'm just taking a guess since he himself was never clear and this other analyst was using data like that. None of us know for sure, but this daniel dude never actually stated what data he was using.

How do I know that he didn't write the article?

Because the article says it was written by Shubhankar Parijat. How are you so bad at this?

Ahmed doesn't state the data he is using because it's his job to analyze data that the rest of us do not have access to. It's safe to say that he can't make guesses and wild speculation on a literal business partner without getting in trouble.

So in short, the source has no concrete numbers. You could have simply said this from the start and saved yourself a whole lot of trouble, lol.

No.

In short the source has concrete numbers. They have provided analysis on those numbers and their statements made on their numbers are considered a source for reporters and publishers. The source is not allowed to disclose those numbers but can make statements on trends, results and comparisons.

Just like Piscatella and Circana.
Just like Christopher Dring and gamesindustry.biz

Which you really seem to be struggling to understand. You literally do not seem to understand the concept that there are sources that exist that aren't just financial reports provided by companies. Do you also not believe box office results until Disney state them?

You are so emotionally invested in this that you are trying to twist what I said about some numbers not being known until later and making a durrr mega man comparison. You are so bad at this, lol.

You literally are trying to compare a flagship Square-Enix game of which they provided numbers within a week to say hey it's okay guys. Capcom took years to give numbers for Mega Man.

If you want to provide decent arguments then provide them.
