| yushire said: you know the sales spike of the September NPD sales was BEFORE the month's pricecut of the Wii which is on last week of September right? So if the pricecut will be effective its on month of October. But the September's sales are healthy without the pricecut. One month after WSR. So its not the pricecut that spike the sales of the Wii, its WSR and November and December NSMB Wii |
in september, the average wii hardware price was $218, meaning that a large amount of wii sale sin september took place AFTER the pricecut.
lets look at this analysis.
June, before WSR luanch: weekly sales of 72340
July has 1 weeks of WSR: weekly sales of 63125
august has wsr on sale throughout: weekly sales of 69350
september has 1 week of pricecut: weekly sales of 92560
october has a full month wii at $199: weekly sales of 126725
as we can see, wii sales really start rising rapidly after the price cut. WSR helped stabalise sales but it wasa the price cut which reinvigorated them.
