On top of that the same deal was on here in the UK and didn't see a bump. Free consoles are given out all the time. You can get them with tvs, with subscriptions to things like gas, insurance etc, can get them with phone contracts and so on. I doubt very much 100k-200k were because of that deal. |
i'm not very confident in this number but i google it and there is a number floating out there that dell sells ~700,000 computers a year just in the US. that means an monthly average of 58,333. The deal was valid for HP computers too. i dunno, it is circumstantial evidence but the size of the bump seems to be on the same order of computers sold.
