So how much does it need to increase to get back there? July & August 2010 513k July & August 2011 670k July & August 2012 475k So the current weekly sales level needs to increase by 41% to just match 2011. Oh... and colours do nothing in Europe. We aren't Japanese. |
The holidays can throw up some unexpected figures making nonsense of the YoYs and the general sales trends.
I have as much faith in these "numbers" predicting what will happen during the holidays as I had with the "numbers" thrown up by economists to point out that the recession would be over by 2011.
X360 proved this the case a couple years back - granted it had kinect to achive this and PS3 only has a slim and a possible price cut for the 2012 holidays.
Please don't get me wrong. I am not saying that you are talking nonsense and will be proved wrong, quite the contrary. I like you do not see a 41% increase as you stated.
I also believe that if the wii u makes an initial mpressive impression (the tree I's) on the media and public, it will rip massive sales from the rest.
Regardless I don't think what the OP suggest is likely.
