| TheSource said: By my count there were dozens and dozens of black friday week deals in the USA just at major retailers, around 60 I believe, but I'd have to look. It took me 90 minutes just to compile the Sunday - Wednesday, and Saturday promotions in addition to the Black Friday ads article we ran a couple weeks ago which had other deals so Brett would know what the hell was going on for discounts. I would agree with the recent poster - Brett does hw and sw compilations seperately. He likely saw all the bundles, and extrapolated PS3 hw accordingly, but then forgot to put in the hw sw bundled titles on the software side. You have to remember this is really the first time PS3 has had several bundles with major software in the USA at the same time as well. Its also possible the figures he gave are correct too, as the games are only for retailer x, or y for a period of hours on Black Friday itself, rather for the entire week. |
I doubt the software numbers for BF bundled titles are correct given what they were like last year.
I think it is very possible that what happened is in the 2nd paragraph of your post. Brett must've forgotten to add the SW numbers bundled with HW.
And we aren't talking about small retailers here...we're talking about Walmart, GameStop and BestBuy. What are their market share like ?
