We have now been working for months on the internal statistics of our sales in order to meet customer demand.

We are trying to solve simple questions by using these statistics so that we can manage and forecast our stock of goods the most efficient way.

For example : which products are the most sold ? for which season ? for which age range ? from which region or country ? and so on….

We have recently created some statistical tools to answer these questions, and we discovered unusual and amusing facts while using them.

We’ll publish these statistics over time, and we’ll begin today with the link between “operating system” and “sextoys”.

At first glance, there is no clear correlation between the use of an operating system and the type of products that are purchased by our customers.

Yet, the reality is quite different.

What sextoys are the most bought by Windows users ?

Canard Vibrant (Vibrating Duck)

Smartballs

Laya Spot

Cockring Vibrant (Vibrating Cockring)

Oeuf Vibrant (Vibrating Egg)

What sextoys are the most bought by Mac OS X users ?

Oeuf Vibrant (Vibrating Egg)

Lelo Nea

Lelo Luna

Pingouin Vibrant (Vibrating Penguin)

The Cone

NB : We have also included users from the iPhone version of the website (http://iphone.absoloo.com/)

What sextoys are the most bought by Linux and *BSD users ?

Power Piston

Pocket Pussy

Pluggy

Flexi Felix

Pingouin Vibrant (Vibrating Penguin)

In conclusion, we can see from these simple statistics that the typology of users is quite different between operating systems.

Windows users, which are the wild majority of our customers, tend to buy many and various items. Especially if we remove the bestsellers from the list.

Mac OS X users tend to buy more expensive and fashioniable items, a lot of them are confined to the purchase of bestsellers and recent products.

Users of Free OSes, although fewer in number, demonstrate that it is primarily a male population. (in terms of statistics - 95% of our buyers from Linux are men). You can also note the fun correlation between Tux the Linux mascot, a penguin, and our vibrating penguin :)
