| bmmb1 said: So many "the Wii is DOOMEZ" posts yet no-one bothered to mention that these sales numbers are for a week where only 4 days had the price cut? By unscientific extrapolation, taking into account how much the WIi sold in the week before that, had this week been with a price cut from the start, Wii sales would have been around 48,000 ... [added] Hhow I came by that number? 10,500 / 7 = 1,500 Wii per day just before price cut. 32,000 sold minus three non price cut days = 27,500 sold after price cut. 27,500 /4 = 6875 sold every day after price cut. 6875 x 7 days with price cut = 48,125 Wiis had that week had a price cut from the beginning...[/added] |
That math only works with the assumption that the pricecut is not front loaded at all, which is true of most any sales increase. This is why we have to wait for next week to see what affect it will have with going into the future, but you can't just assume that every day it'll well the same amount.
