A quick question for TheSource, you expect PS3 YoY to increase without a pricecut (~1.5mil)?

with a GT5 launch in Dec - Jan in Europe and NA and  FFXIII launch in Japan, i think PS3 can do .5m extra in Jap and 1 m extra in Europe and NA. Plus normal stream of good exlusives is already ther like Uncharted 2 and inFamous and R&C and MAG.. so 10 + 1.5 for the extra boast given by FFXIII and GT5 seems not out of range to me.

But that doesn't account for the lower sales we're seeing right now. From the beginning of the year, PS3 sales are down around 10% YoY, and 30% down from the beginning of the quarter. So instead of 5 million between April and October as last year, we could see 3.5 - 4.5 million instead (not to mention a potential effect in November, depending on when those games launch).
