You are missing my point. Traditionally each consoles have highger sales in October than in September even without price cut, big game or redesign. For 360 and PS3 in 2008 and 2009, the numbers went up from the last week of September to first week of October and For Wii, it increased each week in October. So why would the bump start at the end of October? I would say for each console, end of September is the bottom and they all slowly pick up from first week of October.

I see that as just normal fluctuation, seeing as how they're both high in the start of September.

Start of September is high since generally it's a down trend throughout September. Once it gets into October, it turns into an up trend based on the data in the last two years. If you average the last 3 weeks of September and first 4 weeks of October for each console in the last two years, only PS3 last year has a higher September numbers since it has the second week of the price cut plus redesign.

You are arguing that the down trend continues until the end of October which the numbers don't support.
