OK, but if they use a period of days, they choose the days i say, not the others. Nintendo is probably using this period now because is the only thing that really is better than last year. Is like expecting more sales 26, 27, 28 December than in 22, 23, 24 December. People don't wait to buy after the day, and if they can choose, they buy as earlier as they can. That's why sales from monday to friday are bigger than in saturday, sunday and monday (even with CM).

The only fact (as much a fact can be...XD) is the 8'2M sold comment. Those are official numbers and are as trustworthy as when they say Pokemon sold 1'5M in 3 days or Sony saying Spiderman sold 3'3M in 3 days. There's no reason at all to doubt them.

I keep telling you to look it up and you don't so I'm going to have to do it for you.  Show me a Mon, Tues or Wed prior to BF on these lists.  But there is the Sat after.

Maybe with everything else, you are right, but we are talking consoles here, and with consoles there is the problem with stock every year, all of them put 90% of their stock for the week, until BF. Technology works different, and in this case, console gaming.
