Exactly...the increase for the PS3 in the UK is actualy around 100 - 150% on an average week (the 1000% is ludicrous)... this is still a very reasonable spike, but far from earth shattering.

you are so full of excuses to bring down the hugeness of this relaunch. it was 1000% increase no matter what.

 

He's got a point tho, until we know the plateau the slim settles in we can't make further judgement.

Right now what we are seeing are two years of pent up demand explode at once, but once this settles what will happen?

what were your predictions again? I can safely say no one expected such big numbers, nobody. Now, you somehow know just 600k people waited two years to get the ps3 at $299. Just amzing how much people know after the fact .

 

I never predict sales. 

Anyways, are you gonna pretend it's gonna sell 500k per week from now on?

Because every pricecut on any console has caused a sales spike followed by slowdown up to a new sales plateau. If you are gonna try to defend that somehow the ps3 is gonna behave in a different manner than every single console including the ps3 (as far as the 2007 pricecut is concerned) I'd like to hear you why is it gonna happen.
