This is how shit like this is always reported - its infuriating. Much like annualised revenue where they tell the stock market "we made 1 Billion last month, which means we'll definitely make 12 Billion in a year".
And this "flat" estimation without any nuance taken into account is based on a roughly estimate of current sales, with an guess of split between high (35%) end and low end (65%) model of sales. Also early adopters will buy it for any prices and then we need to see how many are still interested and how many VALVE can produce. There are so many factors that its impossible to project a yearly sale number...
And the title says "Hits"... as you say, this is just infuriating.
This is how project managers think isn't it?
Maybe, but we are dealing here with "ai journalists". Edit: Never mind, I just understood what you meant. Project Managers think of the numbers they will get in the future. And if they don't get it, then someone stole it from them.
