Macworld points to an article in Barron (their site requires a subscription… sigh…) claiming that sales are down in Apple Stores:
New data from Needham hardware analyst Charlie Wolf says that there was only 1.8 percent less foot traffic in the December quarter 2008 versus the end of year 2007.
But here’s the rub: most of those shoppers are walking out empty-handed. Wolf notes that same-store revenue dropped 17.4 percent during the period, year-over-year.
Makes sense.
