Basically last week the console sold 7500 consoles per day compared to 5000 per day the week prior. Making the assumption that the pending price drop did not drive sales down. The first three days accounted for 15,000 units sold. That would mean that 35,000 were sold in the last four days at 8750 units per day. Were we to follow that line of thought the 360 should move just over 61,000 units in its first full week. That is conservative math. That would be closer to a sixty percent increase in sales.
My personal opinion is that the console probably at the very least moved 9000 units, and probably closer to 9500 units per day after the price reduction. Obviously there is no data to support this. However with the high end purchase, and the online capabilities I will assume a larger portion of potential consumers would be aware of the imminent price drop. Then again my predictions could end up being equally valid due to the weekend effect. I suppose we will never know unless we get a breakdown for daily sales.
My personal expectation is that the console probably will have seen in its first full week at the new price a increase of 80%-100%. Ignoring the numbers and just taking into account a full weekend makes this seem like a plausible and realistic assumption. That is a pretty solid boost almost an increase of double a corresponding previous week. I guess people really did notice the drop in price. Even without a major marketing campaign.
