Jon - But you must look at seasonal trends before arguing what you just said.

Feel free to look at the 360 in Japan. It flies in the face of your argument. It's entirely effected by seasonality, despite the marketshare. It's seeing very similar drops to the PS3 and Wii, despite a much smaller userbase than the PS3 in America.

Feel free to look at the same week in 2008. The X360 had a similar sales base as the PS3 does this week, but it's drop was about 3 times higher for the same week. Even the PS3 last year suffered a higher drop.

So I believe your argument is without merit. Just because it had a smaller % increase from Oct-Dec does not mean that it should have a significantly smaller drop coming out of Christmas. Should it drop slightly less? Sure. But the volume that we're seeing is Atypical.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
