I don't know, that's why I said, or something. A hardware increase seems like the only way that those titles could've gotten such large sales boosts, especially when nothing significant has happened to spur software like this. They may have received price drops, but I doubt it.

As has been posted in the OP and by others, the explanation is the mid-term holiday.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

^ Mid term is the exact same thing, just a different word.

According to GamesIndustry.biz, the AvP breakdown is:
58 per cent of sales on the Xbox 360, 32 per cent on the PlayStation 3 and nine per cent on PC

1% seems to be missing but it's probably a round off error on GI.biz side.


do you have a link for me?



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I'm not in the UK, but it's the same thing either way. It's the break half-way through the term or it's the break mid-way through the term.

yes, but my point is that in the UK where the sales boost was, its called Half term, also, mid term sounds lame
