Mr. sickVisionz said: Are you seriously arguing that people don't think the iPod is cool and that a $50 reduction (or a free game of your choice if you want to spend it like that) had minimal if any effect on sales? There's definitely some clown talk but I don't think it's coming from Pachter. |
There were a number of such offers for consoles over Black Friday and Christmas, they didn't create such meteoric sales as Wii had in December. The ipod/phone games market is really small compared to the DS games market. Honestly a better explanation for DS software sales was that it's in it's fifth year and there wasn't as much compelling software released as there have been in past years.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
