gunnersman Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I was looking at the number of people who posted that they pre-ordered and was wondering if that translates to a bigger number of people who actually pre-ordered but didnt post? Do you guys have a formula for that sort of thing? For instance, 1 person posting that they pre-ordered means that there are actually 12 (or 20 or 100 or a bazillion) that actually pre-ordered? If that is the case, does that translate to those who have not pre-ordered but plan to order eventually also? Or is that asking reveal too much? Enquiring minds want to know.

iplaygames2 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Why would they need a formula to determine how many preorders are in? I'm sure their sales software is able to come up with a solid number, if the right people ask the right questions of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Im sure I would have thought of that if I had gotten any sleep last night. I'm just curious about the actual numbers without about being too blatant and too nosey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 For some reason, only about 5%-10% (depending on the game) of people who actually order from us (not counting retail etc) ever post to the forums. That's a fairly constant average number across the past years. I guess it goes to show what an annoying minority you guys really represent Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Wow! That is a small number. I would have thought it would be more than that. But then again, you guys probably wouldn't survive on just the people who post. Or at least you would probably work REAL jobs on the side if you did.

No, thats wrong. If for example 10.000 CMBO-players (= 5 to 10% of the customers) are registered in this forum, 100.000 to 200.000 copies of the game has been sold.

For me 50% of the pleasure in wargaming is talking about it... I guess I'm an exception. Filppo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
