Older software titles get a lift in sales = new buyers.

Older software titles get no lift = phat owners slimming down.

Good point, binary solo

All older software has been tracking pretty flat for a couple of months. Anyone who already owns a PS3 bought the must have exclusives (LBP, MGS4, Uncharted, Killzone2). It's too soon to for a holiday boost.

Keeping an eye on how those titles sell will be a good indication of new ps3 owners vs. slimming down fatty ps3 owners.

 

I currently own 2 PS3's. An 80 GB non BC in my living room and a 60 GB launch (hardware BC) in my bedroom. I will be buying a slim to replace my 60gigger.
