@koffieboon,
oh yeah, because of FEW autumn weeks, you assume WHOLE Christmas week sales???
THAT makes even MORE sense. Lol, NO.
Time will show,
for now, i speak about PS3 selling trend of US+EU in 2008, which is EQUAL to PS2 selling trend of US+EU in 2001.
Now, YOU are saying, that this 10 months trend won`t continue BECAUSE of few weeks of Autumn???
And, by the way, Japan had no pricecut, they got only new 40GB model for 39,900 yen,
this year they too get NEW 80GB model bundled with GT5P Spec III at 39,900 + other bundles and new games.
p.s. *THE MAIN POINT of THIS THREAD - is to SEE how far/close will PS3 be in 2008 compared to PS2 with it`s 16 mln. consoles sold in 2001.
just in case IF somebody forgot.
Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.
PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
