| Galaki said: To me, when the console that's been sold less is selling more weekly than the previous winner, then I call that "closing gap". For example, PS3 vs Wii in Japan for last week. The gap isn't closer, as long as the Wii is selling more, even by 1 unit, that gap is still widenning. Am I understanding the 2 words wrong? |
Your definition is correct. I'm in the media and I shake my head in disbelief every time I see a headline stated incorrectly that way - usually in regards to the exact circumstances you just alluded.
If they refer to the weekly average sales gap then it should be noted as such. An overall gap with no context to being a weekly average gap will be perceived as a total gap and any weekly unit values for Wii above PS3 by even 1 unit will still be considered a widening gap for Wii.
