WTH is up with the PSP numbers O.o

I know it's likely adjustments, but still


PSP adjustments? No, it has gotten 2 new MH bundles in Japan.

Yeah, but still, that's a RIDICULOUS increase compared to last week, and every other console...

@Reach- After reading that comment, it all seems very true and probable. There's no denying the sales are good, but it can also be seen that you'd expect more sales with the amount of money you spent on it. 

Not saying I agree, but it's a fair point at the end of the day

Oh for god sake... no that post doesn't have any fair points. His post, wherever it is from, is utter bollocks.  

One more time for the hard of thought.... $500m dollars for qtr 4 (Oct ot Dec) is not remotely abnormal.

Lets paint it another way..... MS spent $500m and their sales are up and somehow thats not good.... but Ninty spent almost $500m too and their sales are in free fall... so....?

I'm not doubting you know the situation, but wouldn't it be abnormal if MS did have the same numbers as Ninty in marketing?  It seemed pretty obvious that they were going to put big money into  Kinect, on top of their normal advertising during quarter 4.  So maybe it is that Nintendo used a very abnormal amount themselves (3DS marketing?), or the MS number isn't completely accurate?  It doesn't seem right that this huge push they themselves built up resulted in a normal run of the mill marketing budget.
