Shadow1980 said: Interesting. It sold 3M in 28 days (Dec. 4 - 31) this year, but 3.4M in 26 days (Dec. 7 - Jan. 1) last year. Despite being up overall YoY, it was down for the month of December by several hundred thousand units. The PS4 was about flat YoY in Japan. We haven't gotten NPD results for the U.S. yet, but given that December is always at least slightly up over November, it's likely up slightly YoY as well. That leaves Europe and the rest of the world to explain the difference. |
Dec is usually bigger than Nov in the US but we have remember that it had much better deals in Nov which led to a record month.
Its possible that the massive Nov stole sales from Dec and we are seeing a continuing trend of Nov gaining importance compared to Dec.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
