No its true for consoles with limited stock as well. Here is NPD data. PS4 Nov 2013-1.14m PS4 Dec 2013-860k
Wii Nov 2006-470k Wii Dec 2006-600k
360 Nov 2005-320k 360 Dec 2005-280k |
I'm lost..... so all that data suggest what exactly?
The consoles had limited stock? Cause what I am seeing is a drop in all those consoles second month. I don't see how that refutes my claim.... they still sold all the stock they had available. They just had less stock the following month than the month prior. With exception to the Wii (and there is a reason why things like that happens too). They sold what they made..... so the drop in those cases are related to the availability of stock. Not because of a launch window.
It only applies to consoles that aren't limited by stock. Here's an example. Take the XB1 for instance. In december 2013 it wasn't stock starved like the PS4. It still sold well, but in its case only cause it was released in the holiday window. Lots of presents being bought. If it was just as successful as the PS4, then it would have ben stock starved too. And it wouldn't have mattered if it was in the holidays or not.
Lets just leave this alone though. At this point theer is no need to continue. I believe we have all put our cards on the table, everyone will believe what they wanna believe.
Its possible though that you didn't quite understand what I was saying. Especially if you are referring to the part I bolded.
