It is good to see that the good old price cuts and deals still help.

I was wondering why MS didnt just make those price cuts permanent but I think that they are afraid that Sony might just counter attack with price cuts of their own.  So I think they're just sneaking those price cuts as "temporary deals".

We're at the slowest part of the year ... 

Spring/Summer has always had the lowest hardware sales during any period ... 

OP, did you make sure to adjust your model to be consistent with previous data ? 

Doesn't explain why it went south so sharply only that day and not the other days

Well that's the market for ya, sales patterns just aren't very deterministic ...

Nah, there has to be more to it. The curb was pretty stable for over a month, with predictable spikes on new releases and the curb then going down again until it reached it's baseline. sales did deviate a bit, but never nearly as much or as fast as it did yesterday - and it also never affected all at once like that.

Things look to be going back to normal and starting to follow the overal trend down. We are going to get extremes but the average is what we should be more interested in.

I think the average is whats really useful on this. Normally people will pop in and go, OMG look how well ABC is doing at that particular moment and make a estimation at that point. A is winning, B is doing terrible.... just on 1 or 2 days data. This changes everything.

Averages are where its at.
