which week is black friday? (remember it only increases sales in the USA)
It all depends when each week falls of course..last year the week after christmas started on the 26th so it was very low (lower than the last two weeks of November...though not by that much...going by PS2 sales btw because they span the most christmasses)
This year the week after includes the 24th and the 25th for all regions.....and for the Americas the 23rd as well....so i imagine it will be higher than any November week, probably on par or a little higher than the first week in December (by which i mean the first week with at least 4 days in December...which i think ends on the 8th/9th)
On the comparison charts, if we go back to a vaguely comparible year like 2003....where the final full week before christmas ended on the 23rd.... the week after (ending the 30th) was the third highest week after week ending 23rd and week ending 16th (though only just) :- http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=GC®1=All&cons2=PS2®2=All&cons3=XB®3=All&start=37556&end=37647
the best week of the year in Japan seems to be the first week of January, which is most of what holds up the sales after christmas because in the USA they drop almost to normal levels....So admitedly with the 360 we should see a different curve to the other two consoles, going higher earlier on but dropping faster after.
