Nah, week-on-week just means that sales rose 989 percent from one week to the next, as in, from that Sunday to Saturday the Xbox sold almost ten times what it did the previous Sunday to Saturday timeframe. What we don't have, of course, is how much it sold that previous week. As you said, all we know is the boost, without having any baseline to play them against. Apparently the ps4 was down 66% this week compared to last year, but the week before it had outsold the Xbox One nearly 3 to 1 despite selling 22% less than it did this week, so the UK market itself is looking weaker than I realized. |
Ah thanks for explaining. If these people know the percentage increase/decrease then they clearly know the acurate amount sold. So I'll now assume that they purposely spun this to make it sound better than it actually is. And also the fact that they had to state this on one week's sales than like an entire month, just so they can make it sound like they're really exploding. Im sure the numbers are great, but probably not fantastic.
