Interesting analysis of holiday numbers using past NPD data

[FishyJoe]

This is a very interesting analysis from Bill Harris on holiday sales using historical data. Based on NPD data, sales of consoles typically increase 250% from October to November and 200% from November to December. If one were to use this historical average, the USA numbers for November would be:

Wii--1,250,000
360--915,000
PS3--302,000 

Of course there are other contributing factors, but interesting none the less.
