KZ2 added about 30 - 35k to the PS3 for february in the US last year.

as I said... it would be a major shock if the PS3 wasnt up for most of this year to September.


~50k weekly to 70k to 90k the week after. Looks more like 60k to me.

And where were yopu last year when... oh wait i'm pretty sure it was you heralding the "360 only console up YoY" last year.

I'd say all current systems had a pretty good month excluding the PSP.

Explain this math to me:

PS3 – 300,000 (+9%) / 280,000 (+1%)
Xbox 360 – 350,000 (-10%) / 335,000 (-14%)

 

According to this chart, I am seeing either the systems BOTH decline in sales, or both INCREASE in sales.  Please let me know what I am missing here.

Different predictions for the same month dude. Not like january - february or YoY if that's what you mean.

What the fuck are you talking about?

1) We're talking about the month of February. Not one week.

2) We're talking about the month of February in the US. It didn't even give it a weekly boost of 68%, it was a boost of 21% for the week. Where are you getting 68% from?

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

53k -> 53k -> 60k -> 53k -> 73k -> 89k

From your link. Maybe you should learn how to read charts. I can tell you it aint a coincidence sales rose 20k week before KZ2 came out then another 16k after that.

You're counting from two weeks before......

 

All three consoles had a big rise that week. Coincidence?!!

When demand > supply, sales are a function of supply. The Wii had shortages all through 2007 and most of 2008, but there was still weekly variability and there was still growth.
