Btw, is that a 214% increase of the sales of the past two weeks, compared to the week before that? Or is it a 214% increase for every week these past two weeks, compared to the week before that? (big difference) |
There was a massive advertising campaign that started just after the first week of price cuts that show the new price of the Arcade. This price cut also came as something of a surprise, unlike the US price cut which was known fairly widely for over a month. The price cut itself was announced just a few days before it was dropped in Europe, so people may simply not have known.
But whether shanbcn believes the number or not is irrelevant. This comes from Chrat Track, so while it's surprising, it is official. And that's what I was initially arguing against, since he dismissed the number outright as MS BS.
