Lol okay. In tha case i "know" the more than tripled mean 3.9x times the previous week.

And what about the statement about the last two weeks leading the sales in the US. Do he talk about the one previous week and just the half, the pr come out?
Or did he talk about the Sunset Overdrive week and the Cod week, what would be normal? Do u know that, too?

Do u also know, that the Sony PR, as example, always refers to previous dates?
7th January announce 4.2m Ps4 sold as of 28th December
16th April announce 7m Ps4 sold as of 6th April
12th August announce 10m Ps4 sold as of 10th August

And now u want to tell me, that the PR coming out on 12th Novmber refers to sales of 12th Novmeber?
Microsoft is ofc not that fast. They need time to write and evaluate the PR. They need time to get the numbers right etc...


That PR is clearly not about some half week sales between the 10th and 12th November. And i know that.

If it was 3.9 then they will say 4 times and not three... to say three it was really close to 3 times... if they had the change they will spin even to 3.5 times... 3 means they barelly sold over 3 times.

And I guess you didn't read the PR spin.

"The response to this wave of blockbuster game releases and new bundles has been amazing, and sales have skyrocketed since the new price took effect on Nov. 2. Compared to the previous week, Xbox One sales in the US have more than tripled, which is exciting as more and more friends will be playing together this holiday. As we head into the busy holiday season Xbox One led generation 8 console sales in the US for the past two weeks. Shortly, we will have sold in to retailers more than 10 million Xbox One consoles."

After Nov 2 price cut... compared with previous week (week ending Nov 1st)... Xbone sales more than trilped in US... wave of blockbusters means Unity, MCC, CoD, and SO... so they cleary are talking about sales up to 12nd or at least 11st.

Yeap... my maths are right.
