There you have it. That timeline shows the 500--->$400 effect, more than 50% rise in sales. The price drop happened in early october (in US it was a week or 10 days later). (I didnt choose to show earlier than august, because you had a firesale effect then when the 60GB model went down to $500, because Sony wanted to get rid of the SKU).

 


Eh. Ok. I'll give it to ya. That's not any different than what I showed you, except you narrowed down the timeline, but since I didn't know the date of the pricecut, I couldn't really do. It definitely an increase, but it's too bad it came late in the year, because the holiday starts soon after. And that's the relesae of the 40GB right?

It's really not THAT much. When you said explosion, I kinda went crazy. Yes, 50% increase. Good increase, no doubt. We'll have to see what the weekly sales look like in a few weeks to see if that increase actual hold, sound good?

And looking at it this way shows the increase was only Others, before dropping a bit, then holiday season starts...

 

Yes yes, in my world, and in the battle between X360 and PS3 50% is an enormous increase (Wii is unstoppable, I don't pay much attention to it's crazy sales). Of course I don't think those 50% will be sustained over more than a couple of months, then perhaps go down to more like 20-30%, but that's still a lot in the battle.

 Now holidays screwed up the comparisons a bit, but january and so on will be interesting to see if Sony keeps selling pretty much exactly like the X360 WW. And as I foresee, if the X360 will take a 20% WW lead in march due to a price cut (with that bigger spike in the first month).
