I would say the question is hardly relevant during the holiday sales period, because as anyone can tell you purchasing patterns are in no way shape or form average. Further more last weeks sales simulate a spike rather then a consistent pattern. Please resurrect this thread during a normal week rather then a atypical one. Otherwise it looks like a manipulation. Not playing favorites here. I wouldn't think the question would be relevant during any of the other triggered spikes that has happened through this year. When Sony cut their prices, when Microsoft cut their prices, When Halo 3 was launched, or When Hot Shots Golf was launched in Japan. You need an average week to get an average impression. |
Actually you are exactly backwards here. Its challenging to outsell your combined competition during the normal part of the year but it is downright domination when you do it during the holidays...particularly while supply constrained.
If anything it is more relevent that they did it during this time of the year. The bigger the sales week the harder it is to maintain the ratio. The only exception to this is when a console is dominating...when a console dominates it does this easily.
Hence, Nintendomination. Any questions? No? Good, now admit you were off and be done with it.
