| DKII said: I'm getting sick of threads like this. We have real retailer data, you do not, so quit assuming our data is always wrong just because it doesn't fit whatever fantasy you want to believe in this week. Sales are low because supply is low, and supply is low because retailers aren't re-ordering more stock, or are ordering tiny quantities. Activision can't force retailers to buy more copies no matter how much they advertise. ;> |
its not like even NDP is always right...
And yes, this site is great, but for whatever reasons CODwaw sales dont makes sense. No one is say it had massive stock, but but it has a very high sellthough rate from the anecdotal data we have shared. No one is saying it is already at like 800k or something. I think maybe it is off a good bit in NA...
Also the supply is low theory is true to an extent. Ya there is no where near as much supply as for the HD consoles. But really. Why would they spend so much money marketing a products that is not on the shelves.
If I am wrong when fiscal are released so be it, I just have a hunch... the same type of hunch I have in Nov that Wii HW sales were low, Numbers just did not line up exactly with what I was seeing in my own anecdotes and the anecdotes of others.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
