Without having even a vague picture of what their program looks at this seems like meaningless news to me. Is it a generalised thing that looks at various high-level stats about a generic company (by generic I mean it's not geared specifically towards games companies) and compares that against similar companies histories? Because if so I'd be surprised if that were going to be anywhere near smart enough to take into account all the financial craziness of a console launch year (especially considering the historical examples of other companies doing that are pretty fucking slim on the ground)
Also has anyone heard of this thing before now? Lots of companies going bankrupt at the moment yet I've not heard of this thing accurately predicting any of them? Move along?
