| brute said: Stock shouldn't be a problem for December though, they will most likely ship a lot more if they need to. And even if they lose BF I still think they will win Novemeber, but we will see for the results in a few days I guess( BF results). |
You are still looking at stock differently from how you should be looking at it.
Its not about who has stock or doesn't.. its about who had more stock. Thats why I am saying, "rate of sales" is only relevant when both platforms have the exact same number of consoles shipped to stores. But if one platform has considerably more stock than the other, then it doesn't matter who sold out first or second as long as they both sold out eventually during the intended period.
So the question remains, (and this time i would expand on it) what if sony shipped out 1M consoles to stores and MS shipped out 750k? the analysis you are making now only works or is relevant if you can provide us with the number of consoles your store had to begin with.
