I've been here a while plus I work in the game industry. I know my facts, but I also take the time to explain them rather than just mouthing-off short meaningless opinions.
|
Wow. You are joking right? You do not have to be Sherlock Holmes to realize that games seem to sell more in the holidays, because that is when a lot of people buy games for gifts. That is not opinion, that is fact. Also, I am calling BS on you working in the industry until you prove otherwise.
|
I work in the industry, but I'm not crazy enough to try and prove it by giving away my personal information. I just find it interesting how some forum dwellers reply with the assumption that I'm "new" or "dumb" when they can't even come up with more than one sentence to explain their opinions.
The topic of this thread is that uDraw's sales are increasing at a faster rate than normal (holiday boost included). If you compare uDraw to other games, this is true.

No that's what YOU made of this thread. The topic is about uDraw's sales increasing every week. And that's the Holiday boost. Fact.
Some games have a bigger Holiday boost. Fact.
And besides, the critics haven't been very positive of the product (the tablet) unlike what you said. I don't know about the games.
It's simply a game that appeals to kids and kids are the main targets during the Holidays.
|
So there you have it, that was my first argument in the first place, not to mntion word of mouth from kids. Not ONLY the holiday boost.
|
I never said it was only the Holiday boost :P

I think we've made progress. We've brought you from saying "No, it's the holiday boost" to "I never said it was only the Holiday boost".
So, now that you've presented a somewhat credible fact that child-friendly games get bigger sales boosts during the holidays, please explain to me why Wii Party and Sonic Colors have not seen the same sales boosts. Do these games not appeal to kids? Didn't Sega say Sonic Colors was targeted at 8 year olds? So why is it not seeing a holiday boost in the same manner as UDraw?
My stance is that Udraw is seeing a larger sales boost because of good word of mouth (not from critics but from customers like Just Dance from last year), and effective advertising. It is not just seasonality. It leads me to believe that it will have significant sales even after the holidays.
Also, the original topic of this thread actually presented the idea that the sales increase may be due to easing supply restrictions, which is also plausible.
