Well in NA it's tax time. Fairly normal for April not to be a high selling month for consoles for that reason alone in NA. |
Same in the UK, and I imagine the rest of Europe too.
people are saving money.

That's strange. Most people I know get a refund check and thus have a lot of free cash to spend in April. I would think video game sales would increase.
|
In U.S. (I'm sure other places but I personally can't confirm this) lower-income families can file for tax refunds but those are it. I wouldn't doubt most of them have other expendatures in mind besides consoles.

Uhm.. I'm pretty sure you are wrong. Anyone that pays more taxes during the year than they owe gets a refund check regardless of how much money they make. Maybe you are getting it confused with the one time stimulus refund checks that were given out last year. As for lower income families, they generally buy material things with that money because it's the only time they can afford to, especially if they are a younger family. There's a reason why they are low income..

I mis-typed but I was only limiting to the ones that would definatly get one (provided it's not fraudulant). Not "most people" are able to get tax refund checks as you're making it seem. Most, if not all, lower-income families/persons will recieve tax refunds unless for certain reasons (fraud or other possibilities?). People (or businesses) can file for tax returns for a variety of reasons but it's not exactly common for this range to pay too many taxes. Normally, these middle-income, higher-income families, businesses, and everything in between should normally be able to get tax cuts before filing for tax breaks.

More than 50% of americans got refund checks this year so i'm not exactly sure what your getting at here.

I think you mean tax payers not Americans. But your point still stands.
