A theory is not an explanation


Yes it is. Evolution is a theory that explains our origins. This is a theory that explains massive shipments. Neither are proven and their plausibility is left up for interpretation.

You can't compare your theory to the theory of evolution. I think some people in this thread don't know what a scientific theory is. For all intents and purposes evolution is a fact. It has been methodically proven over decades.

I think some people are confused over the fact that there are scientific theories and laws. Theories do not eventually become laws. A scientific law tells us what happens. A scientific theory tells us how and why something happens. There are laws of evolution that tell us what happens and the theory of evolution that explains why those laws happen.

Anyway while your idea sounds reasonable, it assumes constant sales throughout the thirteen hours. The ps4 is very supply constrained so it's first hour of sales are going to be much much greater, than its second hour, which will be greater than its third hour, and so on because people were initially worried it would sell out quick. It probably did have a very large shipment. But I don't think it will be anywhere near 26+ times as high as it would have sold sold in half an hour like you are assuming.
