Well done 360 with Bayonetta sales. But it seems PS3 HW benefitted more (along with Tekken 6): 54% boost for PS3, 16% boost for 360. A bit odd that.

I think if PSPGo can consistently sell at about 50% of PSP3000 then the PSPGo will carve out an acceptable niche for a DDL only machine. And pave the way nicely for the DDL only XBox 720 (apparently).

 

and PS3 only had a 6k boost, it sold 31k last week

According to who?

VGC has PS3 in Japan doing 24.7K last week. OK so I'm comparing VGC number last week with Famitsu number this week which creates a margin for error. But I'm gonna go with the numbers this site posts for consistency (Japan Preview is picking 35-40K so Famitsu is right in the sweet spot there). Feel free to correct me once VGC adjusts its 24 Oct numbers. I expect VGC 1 Nov numbers to be over 35K this week so an 11K boost minimum.

However, if you'd asked me to predict what the Bayonetta boost would be for PS3 and 360 I would have predicted not much of a boost and about the same. So 16% for both PS3 and 360 makes more sense to me. Perhaps last week's VGC numbers are a bit on the low side for PS3.

1. not sure why you are comparing Fatmisu number this week to VGC number last week while Famitsu number last week is available.

2. If PS3 is at 35K for VGC as your predicted, a 11K boost from 24K is not 54% boost.

3. If your prediction of 35K is true and apply your logic for "margin of error", I could say PS3 boost is only 13% (31K -> 35K).
