According to NPD's weekly report, Windows 7 has outsold Windows Vista by 234% during the first few days after launch which includes all pre-orders. The increase in units can be partially attributed to the deep discounts offered on pre-orders but total sales in dollars is up 82% over Windows Vista showing a big increase in both units and sales. However the economy is affecting new PC sales with total PC sales up only 49% this year compared to 68% with Windows Vista. At least initially, more consumers are opting to upgrade their existing PC instead of buying a new computer compared to Windows Vista.
