well the fact that feb vconsole sales always increase compared to january, is reason enough, don't you think? |
It could be. But I think it's all a connected cycle. Customers buy an excess of consoles in December, so they're less likely to be wanting one in January; fewer publishers release games in January because they know customers are less likely to be buying; but of course fewer customers are going to be buying games if fewer games are being released. Releases pick up in February because sales pick up; sales pick up because releases pick up. Wii U had no releases, so I don't know why anyone would suddenly decide in February that they want to buy a Wii U.
Let me put it this way, releases push sales. 20% is a normal increase for Feb over Jan -- with software releases. Wii U doubled that with no software releases. That's not fishy to you?
