“The November sales figure is an all-time record for the month, beating November 2004 by over $450 million. The highest December on record was last year’s $1.7 billion, and we expect that figure to be shattered next month. It is normal for December sales to come in at 2x the level in November, but the calendar shift (Black Friday was the earliest possible date) may make this difficult to achieve next month. Even so, we think that a December in excess of $2 billion is likely. It is important to note that the last time the calendar was the same as in 2007 was in 2001, and December sales were 2.1x November’s level. Of course, that year included the launch of the Xbox and GameCube, so the numbers were likely skewed in favor of December sales.” – Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter
