Price cut, new model, games, any of these ring a bell?

Not necessarily, can't extrapolate just simply like that, because the cost of the system this year compared to last, means that fewer people will be treating it as a big Christmas purchase, that's probably why sales saw such a boost last year, because people were waiting until Christmas to justify the purchase, so you had a lot of pent up demand from the year that drove the boosts, you likely wont see such an effect this year.

Different markets trend differently for different consoles and Sonys Others market trends better than the states all the time.

  That trend is no longer in effect though, its a trend that altered with the price cut and slim, which is why you'll see bigger holiday sales for PS3 in NA

So you are basically saying sales have yet to stablize following the price cut a remodel?

If so, should we see even HIGHER numbers since, according to your logic, we are still going to see boosted numbers in light of the aforementioned? So if sales have stabalized we have a new baseline to use % increased which points towards a near 400k week for the PS3. If by you logic, we are still seeing inflated numbers this week from the price cut on September 1st we would see even GREATER increases over the % from last year. So then by your argument we should expect even higher ratios.

Youre really just running in circles here.

Im afraid theres no sense in discussing this with you anymore. You seem to think that sales havent baselined which they have and on top of that you seem to be under the impression that purchasing trends in Others which show correlation with yearly percentages in relationship to holiday boosts simply dont exist, which they do.

The number for the holidays of a certain year coincide with % increases and buyer demand for the months preceeding, Its basic economics when talking about something like this. Youll be proven wrong in time, just like everyone else who has been trying to argue against it for the last 3 months, good luck debating with the others.

  No I never said anything about stabilization, I said that the result of the price cut and slim means that the PS3 will have better sales in NA, due to the normal holiday maket being bigger in NA than in others, look at BF you really think that Others is going to be anywhere near the around 490K PS3 sold in NA?

I think the one running in circles is you, I'm putting out a very simple easily seen point, just look at sales this week, and you don't seem to get it

A day that hasn't even happened yet and won't for another month?

   Last weeks sales, Black Friday, where do you think had the higher sales, NA or Others?

Guys, stop feeding the troll.

Stop flaming. Reported.

Im a man....and ill get a boob job this weekend and post semi nude pics on the internet if you show me where i said it would sell around 490k in others.

The best thing about the internet is we can refer back to these threads when the numbers come in. I look forward to that. People that have been consistantly wrong and keep beating the same old drum should know by now, but they dont. Ill talk to you in december, friend.

EDIT: i see where you drew the conclusion. When i said Others trends higher than the states all the time. I didnt mean in absolutes, i should have been more precise and said 99% of the itme. As you go theough the posts youll see im saying around 400k for Others the week before xmas.
