Sales Analysis, Detail To Come

Okay, so sales figures have been released and I think even with some high expectations, we can say that the numbers released are rather stellar. I'm going to be referring to 'slots' a concept I introduced in an earlier blog post. In short, regardless of the title or sales number that filled it, slot 1 is the top selling DC comi of that month, where slot 52 is the 52nd best selling book of a given month. I've managed to gather data for the past year, finding the average sales per slot and the top sales in any given slot. In this month, every single slot beat the previous top slot. While not surprising, consider this:

If you took the best sales for every slot across the whole year and stacked them into a single month... the month of September would still beat it by over a million units. If you took the average sales per slot for the top 52 DC titles over the course of the past year... September would beat the average by over 1.5 million units. (1,060,199 for the first and 1,563,793 for the second, in case you're interested)

I'd say for now we can mark September a solid win. And that is without the adjusted up figures. More in-depth to come.
