LOL wtf is this thing...

 

[silver.tongue]

Quick, someone add GDEX to the WiiU chalkboard.

SOmebody needs to do this.

It's only fair.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

They used this during E3 too.

 

[Brqan]

here comes the salt!

 

[Acquiescence]

I remember this thing from when watching GT's E3 coverage this year, and there were all these random statistics surrounding the live feed. Shit was annoying.

 

[Artemisia]

Wii U, her power.

 

[DR2K]

The award no one wants to win.

 

[DrWong]

A NintendoDirectOmeter!

 

[viveks86]

Seriously? The GDEX is the most mercurial sentiment analysis algorithm I have seen. It changes so rapidly and arbitrarily that any discussion based on it is pointless. Damn, I just wasted a few seconds typing this. kthxbye!

 

[Immaculate]

lmao

 

[SolidSnakex]

GT's version of ESPN's QBR.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[StoopKid]

GT's version of ESPN's QBR.

Lol I still have no idea how you calculate a qbr.

 

[Dr_Biscuit]

 

[Yawnier]

Better pack up your bags Sony, Wii U just won next generation.

 

[theprodigy]

wtf is this thing
I still don't get it

 

[Cipherr]

Lets....


Lets not do this.

here comes the salt!

There is no salt, just reality. In no way, shape or fashion is WiiU more anticipated by any metric than the PS4. Come on now.

[cafemomo]

 

[C-DubSP]

Social media references are the new 1-10 rating scale confirmed.

 

[Lambda Pie]

i read it as GEX and i thought "cool, the lizard is coming back".

i have no idea what that thing in the OP is.

 

[Revolutionary]

A GDEX thread on GAF... really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

 

[FourMyle]

Isn't the WiiU selling worse than the Dreamcast?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Wow, and you thought metacritic was bad xD

 

[Gamesadict]

What the hell...?

 

[Mung]

GDEX?

PS4 ultra bomba confirmed.

 

[Artorias]

Ahahahaha, wow. They literally could have just read what the GDEX spit out and come to the realization that it was obviously inaccurate.

But nope, post it as news instead. I guess it worked out since it got posted here.

 

[parazen]

"GDEX tracks how many times a game is mentioned on social media, but it also looks deeper. We look at the sentiment of conversation. Say something nice about a game and it will help the score increase; slam something and the opposite happens."

This is BS. The sentiment analysis you can wring out of a 140 character tweet is so fraught with error, it's not even worth doing. If you say "This game definitely does not suck." that would probably be counted as a negative sentiment. And even if they explicitly include "not suck" as a positive parameter, there are countless others.

 

[Prelude.]

 

[alr1ght]

Wii U is more popular than PS4/Bone/Call of Duty Ghosts?

 

[StuBurns]

Well, that's that then.

Nintendo is buy Pachter, get the word out.

 

[Exile20]

I wonder how this thread would have went if it was PS4 far infront followed by Xbone then far behind is Wii U.

 

[Dysun]

 

[Raist]

Wii U is more popular than PS4/Bone/Call of Duty Ghosts?

Yes. Also Beyond will sell as much as Pokemon and more than CoD.

 

[BlackJace]

I wonder how this thread would have went if it was PS4 far infront followed by Xbone then far behind is Wii U.

"SHOCKING NEWS"

"Well duh"

But seriously though, this thing is quite stupid to use as evidence of the general opinion.

 

[FStop7]

Uh... what's the problem here? It's meant to be an accurate indicator of video game hardware and software discussion on social networks. I don't see why this is supposed to be hilarious.

Because it's even dumber than VG Chartz.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Because it's even dumber than VG Chartz.

VG Chartz deals with game sales.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Lol I still have no idea how you calculate a qbr.

I doubt even ESPN really understands what the hell it means, but they all repeat it one very show. Every other network just sticks with the old NFL statistics, which work perfectly fine.

 

[akachan ningen]

Why are they still trying to make this happen? Why don't they just eat a dick instead?

 

[Tripon]

Hahaha, well, this thread probably deserves the title change.

 

[qa_engineer]

DAT title change. Lol

 

[alr1ght]

Hahaha, well, this thread probably deserves the title change.

Mods, are you denying Keighley Math?

 

[BlackLagoon]

Just wait until we get a Disgaea entry on the PS4, then we'll see who has the bigger numbers!

 

[peaceiscloser]

LOL at the title change.

Also the Smash Bros number dropping. Looks like people were really disappointed by no Mewtwo reveal! (Lol smashgaf)

 

[Y2Kev]

Every day more users buying WiiU
I see more threads on more and more GAFfers buying WiiU

This is biggest proof yet that tide is turning...

We are having more of these threads in last few months than ever...

 

[fertygo]

This is some PER in NBA Bullshit

 

[mclem]

I'm reminded of Celebdaq

 

[dripdripsplash]

Hahaha!

 

[Prince Vultan]

What the hell is that thing?

 

[Mondy]

This is like gaming's equivalent to the WWE's Power 25, and it's equally as dumb.
