For those who have been at this for a while, generally speaking do sales go up/down/stay the same through December & January?

I would have thought sales might go down since most people will have less "spare" money at this time due to other purchasing commitments. Anyone care to enlighten us? :)

Well this is the time I spend more money on games, since Dec 1 I already bought 5 retail games :)

But generally November Beg Dec. is the biggests up sales because people buy games for nephews, etc, but January ends up being a little lower because its just after xmas, and lets face it, whoever usually buys games is bound get new games on xmas also.
