Wie kommt´s? Weiss da jemand eine Erklärung für? (Spoilert mich ruhig) |
"It works like this: Because DC made the first three months (Week 1-12) worth of That’s not rhetoric, by the way: I’m genuinely curious what’s going 52 returnable under certain conditions, Diamond knocked a token 20% off of the sales of each of those issues for their charts. Once the book stopped being returnable with Week 13, Diamond naturally stopped compensating for the returnability, and consequently the charts displayed a miraculous 20% increase.
I suspect the same is happening with Countdown now. For the record, I’ve not been able to find a public announcement on the returnability of Countdown past issue #44, but it seems to be the most likely scenario to me. If you’ve got inside knowledge on the matter and can confirm or deny its accuracy, though, feel free to chime in.
If the theory were indeed correct, that would be quite bizarre, of course. Why 20%, exactly? Did Diamond have any empirical data before setting the figure? Did they use a dartboard? Does this practice pertain to 52 and Countdown only? Or are they applying it to any books which were always meant to be returnable (which would include All Flash #1, Flash #231 and The Highwaymen #1)? And what about books which end up being returnable due to last-minute content changes or delays?
Again, if anybody reading this has any more insight into the process, I’d appreciate it. From over here, it looks like a rather arbitrary statistical stunt, at any rate, and it’s puzzling why neither Diamond nor DC nor any of thge other usual suspects are apparently going through such great lengths to keep mum about it."
