PC sales rose the week of Vista’s launch, but apparently they won’t last.
Sales of desktop PC sales for the first week in February rose 180.6% compared to the same week last year. Likewise? sales of notebooks also rose 187.8% for that first week in Feb. Also interesting to note that the average selling price of PC didn’t rise as a result of Windows Vista.
Out of the four versions of Windows Vista it was the Premium edition that sold the most with 68.2% of the sales while Basic accounted for 31%. The biggest surprise was that only 0.7% of the sales were of the Ultimate edition but this has been accounted to the fact it wasn’t as widely offered as the other in retail outlets, also it is thought a lot of people will be buying one of the cheaper version and possibly upgrading at a later date.
