^Still all lower than mine, but I suspect I may have overshot a little.
I went through some similar thought processes as yourself (took me ages to make this thread)
Also given a few of the predictions now, I think I may have overestimated week 9 in comparison to week 8 (me predicting week 9 being the largest sales week for all consoles)
The week placement does make it quite awkward this year, last year there was a week that ended leaving only 2 days left before Christmas day, so obviously that week is to be the mahor one. This year the weeks are set 5 days forward (2 days back) so that what was week 9 (huge week ending before Christmas) is now week 8.... and week 9spans across Christmas day.
The dilema being: week 9 has the 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th of December included in it, which are sure to be the 4 biggest shopping days of the year worldwide*, but Christmas day, eve and the 27th are not so huge.... Week 8 however has 7 big shopping days, the last of which being the last Saturday before Christmas.
My question is, will people be rushing out on that Saturday to buy their gifts, or is Sunday just as important.... had ioi's tracking weeks all ended on Sundays, this would have been easier, but as it is I think the two weeks will be close, but perhaps Zucas and Oyv have the right trending. (although Wii will depend on when the shipments are advertised more than anything else, but I can't guess at things like that)
Maybe a little revision of my predictions so that the two weeks are closer together, and with Wk 8 having a slight edge over 9.
*in the USA I beliave Black Friday can rival the 22nd or 23rd Dec.
