The Wii U dropoff is heavier then expected, but it's still doing good. Microsoft should start to get worried though. |
Price cut SKU didn't go into circulation until the 9th, so this week and the rest of June will really be the true indicator. Microsoft just basically threw away May and the first week of June by announcing the cut too soon. Of course, whether it has a sustained effect in sales remains to be seen.

Ok, but the $399 SKU was announced the 2nd week of May, so why did last week (ending on May 31) see Xbox One sales at 52k...And the following week (this week ending on June 7th) why did we see such a dip down to 38k?

The numbers were already declining prior to the announcement, this simply increased the dropoff at a much higher rate. You could attribute it to word of mouth spreading the news, or people just starting to see the commercials (MS didn't start advertising for the kinectless SKU up until the last week or two I think...could be wrong though didn't see it on TV until the past couple weeks), or noticed an article somewhere. We forget, not everyone is paying nearly as much attention to things as we are.
