I wonder if these deals MS strikes, such as the Target gift card end up worth it. They likely would have sold a ton without the deal, but probably not as many. I would imagine that the host store would eat some of the cost also, as it gets consumers to walk in the door there. Does anyone know particulars about these deals?
Where did you once see me say that I'm confident in the numbers? I stated that regardless of the method, people are confident due to the past results. Don't put words in my mouth. Statistics was required for my Management Information Systems and Mechanical Engineering degree paths, with my first one taken in my 2nd year of college in 2003. Don't talk down to me if you don't know me, especially if you are going to put words in my mouth.
Guys.... Please take an intro statistics course at your college. Just because this was "close" in the past doesn't mean this is a good methodology or this represents that total population. There are a lot of problems with their methodology of you're trying to say this absolutely represents the population.
The amount of people arguing with others without having even the most basic of comprehension of how statistics work, is really depressing.
