Not really interested in a colossal back-and-forth about the extent of Netflix' effect on HW sales, but thought I would simply point out that the bold adds absolutely nothing to your argument. The jump in subscribers could be 10% down to current 360 owners taking advantage of a new feature and subscribing to Netflix and 90% down to new consumers purchasing 360s for Netflix (as you try to suggest). Or it could be vice versa. Or it could be 50/50. Ultimately, none of us can say how the split fell, so it's just not a cogent point. |
True...
Essentially we know Netflix was a significant event for the U.S. Xbox 360 userbase given some relevant data. We also know that significant (high attach rate) events can cause increases in demand especially when said high impact event hasn't taken place before which increases the likelihood of its occurence as well as the magnitude so we can infer that it is likely that Netflix had an impact on the userbase, possibly quite significant but we cannot prove this even though it is at least more likely to have happened than not.
Better?
Tease.
