Selnor, why do you try to use the "select broken street date" as the first week. Its obvious by the 60k increase in your apparent week 1 to week 2 that the vast majority, IE: a 60% increase form week one to week 2 shows the bulk of retailers didnt release it early, and the increase from week 1 to week 2 shows the demand and potential sales are like closer to a realistic 200k week one.

I mean for gods sake Selnor, even week 3 PS3 Slim outsold week 1? Are you fucking kidding me, its obvious your "week one" is nothing but bullshit manifested in the mind of a microsoft PR spinner, seriously how do you explain weeks 2 and 3 being larger than week 1 of a $100 price cut and remodel? I'll explain for you, its because barring a few select stores in late august, the PS3 Slim didnt "launch"

Not to mention you go out of your way in the OP to say the price of the 360s remains teh same, completely ignoring a drop to $150 entry price to 360 gaming and we have no way to differentiate the sales.

Also, the slim was announced on August 18th, which gave consumers plenty of time to hold off on their purchase thus possibly explaining fluctuation in preslim sales......

Just too many holes, i mean, we all understand your bias, thats not in question, but youre just stretching too much and ocmparing to things that cant/shouldnt be compared, for what? Im not sure any of us know because even you cant twist sales numbers....even though youre trying your darndest to.

This is a huge swing and miss even by your standards.

This is true. Some stores in my town did not sell ps3 slims until the suggested date
 while others(like every gamestop in my area) sold them early so it will be hard to compare the sales.
