Sales for the month of February were boosted 68%?


no, kz2 boosted sales 68%

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?

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?!!


Maybe if you did some research. SF4. It gave the 360 less of a boost though. Tells me more people were taking KZ2 into consideration. Thus effectively boosting it more than you are playing it down.

Multiplats give little in hardware boosts, just look at GTAIV's release. The boosts from both are not much more than random fluctuation. In fact, the Wii had double the boosts the 360 and PS3 had on that week with no releases.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Me thinks Sony will have to cut the price again on Slim anniversary to stay up YoY.



The predictions seem about right, and mostly supply issues are the cause for the low PS3 sales and I would assume the low Wii sales as well. 360 sales continue to be very strong and I wouldn't be surprised if they ended a little up YOY.



looks like they were wrong both ps3 and 360 were up

So Pachter was 100k out on 360 numbers alone. Over 25%.

Concluding for another month the guy is a nobody and should not be making predictions. If they said to him we will base your earnings on your predictions he would be homeless.

Worst predictor ever.
