The Cat Comic VS The most expensive Game Development Endaevour of all time...
Using the Above trend settings, Will the time span containing Jan1st 2024, have Starfield outperforming Garfield in search terms?
In this example below, it shows the results for the span Jun11-17.
For Market Resolution, I will measure the span containing Jan 1st, 2024.
Resolves YES if Starfield is higher
Resolves NO if Garfield is higher

@PlasmaBallin More data: There is a clear weekly pattern in starfield searches. Sundays are the strongest day, with a significant drop off after that which continues throughout the week until the next Saturday. Meanwhile Garfield doesn't have any obvious weekly pattern (even when I remove the starfield comparison so I can see it better)
Jan. 1 is a Monday, so it should be about average.
A new Garfield film will be released May 24, 2024. If the marketing campaign for this film continues to gain momentum, this will have an impact on the number of searches. When the first trailer was released a few days ago, Garfield briefly overtook Starfield in searches. There is also a clear downward trend in the popularity of Starfield.
its not looking good for the orange cat

Christmas and New Year are boom times for video games. Even older titles have more searches than Garfield around this time. I see this market at 95%, even though I have a thing for cats and Starfield was very disappointing.
Edit: Let's say 70%.
