Black friday last year was 22nd Nov 2007
So it goes like this
10th nov to 17th nov 2007 (1 week before Black friday 2007) http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS3®%5B%5D=America&start=39397&end=39404
PS3 = 176k. Compared to 91k this week, a week before Black Friday 2008.
3rd of Nov to 10th nov 2007 (2 weeks before Black Friday 2007) http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS3®%5B%5D=America&start=39390&end=39397
PS3 = 134k. Compared to 79k last week which was 2 weeks before Black Friday 2008.
27th of Oct to 3rd of Nov 2007 (3 weeks before Black Friday 2007) http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS3®%5B%5D=America&start=39383&end=39390
PS3 = 99k. Compared to 71k (1st Nov to 8th Nov 3 weeks before Black friday 2008)
Meaning for the 3 weeks before black friday last year the PS3 sold in america 409k units.
The PS3 has sold 3 weeks before black friday this year 241k units.
Thus concluding the PS3 the 3 weeks this year before black friday has sold -168k LESS units then over the same period last year. Almost losing 50% of sales.
So your numbers were wrong and my numbers were wrong in the 1st post because they included black friday. However as you can see even with out the actual sales of black friday the PS3 still has dropped 50% sales in the past 3 weeks over this time last year.
So i think that is some serious ownage there for you to try and figure your way out of Lucas :)
