Quote - Actually, the charts do imply no such thing, except that most of them are platinum users. The rest is up to your imagination (and you seem to imagine that it is the platinum users who are interested in in figures and morphs).

Actually they do. For instance the line bars that orders of their preference; the longest bar notes figures and morphs by a large amount. So out of those 200 or so people that did the questionaire, that was their actual preference... no imagination needed because that's exactly what they chose.

Or the fact that you sold more Genesis figures has absolutely nothing to do with the numbers that the survey has collected. Also it might be the case that the people who are buying those characters are not a representative sample of all daz customers, even if  the survey was representative.

  The survey basically tries to assert that because the majority of people that took the survey are not going to buy Genesis items and the should be a drop in those sales. That didn't happen in my case. And yes these unofficial results had no bearing on my sales because my sales didn't drop and the nature of how the results were obtained (people going to a website instead of a blind random sampling) aren't representative of the customer base.

Quote - I guess i agree in principle, but i think this survey bears no false facts. False facts and  rumours are born by careless interpretation of numbers like these (like you tried above). But it seems to be a principle of human nature to see two roughly equally sized slices in two different pie charts and immediately to think they represent the same population which is just not the case. So when interpreting these numbers be very careful with using words like "because" and "imply", statistical and causal correlation are different things (especially when there practically is not even statistical correlation :-)

No but thing is, as you saw from the first few posts in this thread, the results started to add fuel to the negative forum fire based on it. There wasn't anything concrete in it, yet people started to run with it and that's how misinformation starts. The way it was set up and conducted should be taken with the tiniest grain of salt and would cause more problems than try to shed light on the situation.
