What's with those numbers? They're barely even different than last week. Maybe Wii is supply constrained but the other numbers? Suddenly the ps3's only going to sell 700k in december? The 360 is suddenly selling at a slower pace in december than last year?

Does anyone realize the sales on 360 for the same week last year is 276k, HIGHER than this year? Is anybody crazy enough to believe it's going to sell less this year than last after seeing the last few months of sales?


Last year and this year are different. Last year 360 had a larger brandname appeal in America than it did this year, mainly because it didn't have to share it with anyone.


Wow that really made sense. Even though it has sold more this August, September, October and November than last year, suddenly competition has caused it's "brandname" to lower and sell less now? Any more words of wisdom? That honestly does not make one ounce of sense at all.

 

Sounds better than your words of, well it should be doing better this year becuase it's 1 year later.  Please take your bullshit out if you no nothing about the market.

It's sold better in those last few months to do to pricedrops and Halo.  You and I both know this so don't give me your dumb innocent shit.

Another thing to understand is what's going to increase more in holidays.  Holiday sales increase don't come from hardcore gamers, they come from basically people buying on brand, which would be the casuals or regular everyday people.  So obviously the people who appeal to that the most will get the largest increases.  Why do you think DS and PS2 alwasy increase so much come holiday season.  360 on the other hand probably doesn't do that as extensively as others and won't get as large as holiday rises, and that may be showing even more this year, as it loses some of that brandname that casuals follow to the Wii.  Meaning November and December sales of the 360 could be closer than we would normally think.

Not to mention the first week of December is not going to have as huge of sales as the next 2 after.  It increases a lot in the next 2 weeks.  The first week of December has sales like the weeks in November, the next one increases more, and then the week after that increases even more, and then finally the last week we drop off to right about pre holiday sales. 

 

Geez why does everyone here seem to think sales work on lines.  I mean if everything was linear we wouldn't need this site.  Thinking to damn linearly.
