I dont know why people are surprised by the 1st full week sales of the Slim. Sony gave the world like 2-3 week notice that a new PS3Slim with more HDD capacity and a $100 price cut was coming. Not to mention after weeks/months of constant rumours that this was going to happen. Of course the 1st week of this was going to create a monster week. It held up sales for weeks. We will see the real effect in a few weeks. Numbers still need to be extraodinary in a few weeks for the PS3 to catch up.
This is why MS only made a phantom price cut. As someone said earlier MS just added 60GB to the 360 HDD for the same price as last year and dropped $50 on a discontinued SKU.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
