Should start a trend of higher sales---PES next week should keep the number up, then the holiday shopping season is starting. I don't know if the #'s will really drop much until after the holiday season. Good news for Sony. (Especially since it's the UK--rest of Europe will probably be even higher %'s)
Next week we should see a Japanese boost and then early November a US boost. Sony may be starting a trend of great sales until early next year. They picked the perfect time to drop the price--in the calm before the holiday storm.
It also seems from past trends that when consoles see a large jump from AAA games, the console sales jump dramatically but seem to decline down to the old average sales after a few weeks; whereas, after a console price drop, the sales seem to stay at an elevated rate over previous averages.
Don't forget that the 360 SHOULD have a higher sales % jump, duh...it had a price drop AND Halo 3 release (AAA)...that definitely would be better than simply a price drop with no new games on another console. (I'd hope).
Well, I now only have access to a PS3 & 360...Plan on buying a wii soon (lol, if I can ever find one available!) but will probably wait until some of the major RPG's come out like Dragon Quest & Tales, etc.
Anyhow, I'm so far behind in games to play that I'm not in a huge hurry (lol, haven't even gotten a chance to finish God of War II yet!)
