| shams said: Yeah, I'm pretty appalled with some of the maths here as well ;) ... Firstly - June was a 5 week period (so sales of the PS3 actually dropped over the previous month). Average sales per week comes to about 98k/5 = 19.4k / week. ... Now, lets assume the following "sales boosts" per week, for the 4 weeks following the price cut: Week#1: 135% (x2.35) Week#2: 110% (x2.10) Week#3: 100% (x2.00) Week#4: 90% (x1.90) Total sales for the 4 week period in July would now be: 161.4k Which puts it just above the 360, and about 50% of the total Wii sales.

Doesn't work that way, we only know that its risen 135% at the 5 largest retailers, we don't know if there is a rise at the other retail outlets
