Yea. Nov is when things really start ramping up. I think Oct is when things start getting a small boost, too, namely because of releases, which may be why the preorders are at #63 and #73. Other things were rising. And like I told them, the BF sales of the $199 PS4 already passed the XBX and its preorders. And the $189 hasn't enter the Top 100, yet. I'm sure it will, but I predict it will be in the #80-100 range. Of course, this doesn't address the numerous insiders we have had saying that PS4s greatly outnumber the other two at physical retail stores, with one saying they nuked the others in terms of units shipped. I know that's what I saw at my local Walmart. And we have had two employees here saying at their specific stores they got ~200+ PS4s. Walmart has over 5K stores in the US. Now, I saw ~75 PS4s at my Walmart. Some stores in larger areas could have as many as 200+, like the employees of Best Buy reported for theirs. Let's just say the average was ~100. That would be ~500K+ just for physical Walmarts. You could combine all other retail stores and probably get the same ~500K+. So, physical retail alone could be over 1M, which doesn't even address how many they put into online retailers. |
Nov./Dec vs. every other month is about a 3.5-4:1 ratio.
