15% increase for PS3? thats a bit of a bump, just the holidays starting? or more adjustments

Were there big releases to justify this?

Batman and a new Ratchet game, neither would of caused harware sales tho i dont think.

"London, UK – October 25th, 2011 –Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announcedthat Batman: Arkham City™, the critically acclaimed videogame developed by Rocksteady Studios, has shipped more than 4.6 million units worldwide since its October 18th North American launch on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system."

IDK if it pushed hardware sales, but it sure looks like it will sell huge numbers

Maybe the new PS3 price point close a little the gap in Americas.

To close the gap it'd need to start outselling it ...

Weekly gap... you understood

Uncharted 3 should hopefully add a nice little boost to those sales. I still can't believe IGN gave it a 10, so awesome!

Also... Wow at 3DS Software. It's selling less SW than PSP according to these numbers. Nintendo reaaaaaally should have waited to release it around well... Now.

I also don't understand the PS2 boost. Wont it ever just die?
