The method of claim 4 , wherein determining the first probability that a particular product selection will be made by the second user while viewing the second interactive video includes determining a probability that the second user will select a particular video segment included in the plurality of predefined paths of the second interactive video presentation.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the identity of the first user includes determining an identity of a device being used to present the first interactive video presentation and/or the second interactive video presentation to the first user.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the identity of the first user includes identifying at least one Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the first user.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a second probability that a particular product selection will be made by the first user while viewing a third interactive video based on the statistical relationship and at least one product selection made by the first user while viewing the first interactive video and/or the second interactive video.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a second probability that a particular product selection will be made by the second user while viewing a third interactive video based on the statistical relationship, a product selection made by the second user while viewing the first interactive video, and the first probability.

11. A system comprising:

at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions; and

at least one processor for executing the instructions stored on the memory, wherein execution of the instructions programs the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

providing, over a network, a first interactive video presentation comprising a plurality of predefined paths corresponding to different versions of a first interactive video;

during presentation of the first interactive video to a first user:

presenting a first video segment of the first interactive video;

receiving at least one product selection by the first user while viewing the first video segment of the first interactive video via an interaction by the first user with the first video segment of the first interactive video; and

dynamically appending at least one second video segment to follow the first video segment based on the at least one product selection and the plurality of predefined paths of the first interactive video;

recording, via at least one statistics engine, first data corresponding to the at least one product selection made by the first user while viewing the first interactive video;

determining an identity of the first user;
