Holiday Projections Revisited

I think spending limits, even with the joblessness and general tough times worldwide, tend to go out the window in North America and Europe for the middle class, and so people who were unable to justify buying a PS3 in January to October can probably justify it a bit easier in November and December...which could lead to stronger increases than a normal system selling 190k in October would get.

 

Any pointer to affirm such expected beahvior?

The way I see it, causal buyers (often people who buy systems for other people) with all things equal will tend to go for the system that cost less. Paying double for the same games will make no sense to them.
