no idea, can someone remind me of the 2009 drop?


597k week one, a rise of 275%. The previous week sales were 159k. It was a new design though and was a way bigger drop so I assume it wont be anywhere as powerful this time.

Yeah, do you know what date the PS3 cut price in Americas in 09?


Sept. 1st which was the slim's launch but most if not all retailers sold the phat models for that price earlier than that. Some even released the slim earlier.

Just saw the Infamous 2 bundle at Futureshop in New Brunswick, Canada.



Between 190K and 250K.



 

 

 

I say 190k-210k.

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

People need to keep baseline sales in mind. Sales naturally increase in September anyway. Look back at 2007 and 2008 around the Fifa launch. Even without a price cut I would have expected sales to increase to around 160k-180k in mid-to-late September. I expect the price cut to have the effect of both significantly increasing baseline sales as well as starting PS3's holiday buildup about a month early. So I expect sales around 250k-300k. In Japan I'm thinking we could be seeing sales close to 100k on the MH3HD and Xillia launches.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Expecting 190-200k+



Since there's been no indication of any additional channel stuffing, how many units sold during the first (partial) week of the MSRP drop may well be dependent upon present stock levels.

Offhand, my first thought was that anything over 200k units would be approaching 100% sell through of current weekly stock (figuring average weekly sales during this period of about 120-130k units and allowing for a very generous current retail stock within channels over actual units sold to customers addition), but who knows how many units are being shipped as of the price drop relative to the prior week, or how much inventory was actually sitting at retail.



You just know that there is something wrong with the forums when nobody has said it yet:
