It is now made apparent to us why iTunes sales numbers have plummeted to a low 65% since January of this year: Forrester Research was not counting Christmas Day, when everyone on earth who just got an iTunes gift card or a brand new iPod decided to download their favorite songs and videos at exactly the same time.
Online market researcher Hitwise said more than four times as many people (413%) visited the iTunes store this Christmas than the same day last year. All that traffic brought the site to its knees early this week, tossing out error messages to some while others were able to download music without incident. Apple might want to consider other methods of moving digital content to customers if it’s ever going to consider HD movie downloads.
