so please tell me again

why would PS3 owners re-buy the console for a Ps3 slim?

what does the slim "have" to make it worth a a whole "re-buy" for $299?

Its ridiculous to say most of the spike is due to old PS3 owners rebuying the console....

You're forgetting there's a lot of hardcore players on the PS3 who would do that. You remember the people on here with PS3s saying they'd get a Slim right? Heck, there's people saying they own or will buy multiple PS3s for different rooms in their house...

Obviously the spike wasn't just due to the people rebuying, but there should be a lot of people who did rebuy one for a Slim. Why do you think there hasn't been a whole lot of SW popping up in large numbers, especially in Japan?

It's not just the PS3 either, same things happened with the PS2 and DS.

We cannot take what VGc people say to represent the bigger scale in EU/NA.......in fact in EU no-one is silly enough to rebuy the slim (UK PS3 SW sales are up BIG TIME).....in Na I doubt it

in Japan, yeah people did that.

@Seece

Yeah thats because of Japan

Look at UK SW sales (top 40) from chrttrack for this & last week.....PS3 had SO MANY titles compared to what it usually has......this only proves majority of the people were new owners

Japan skewed up the SW Sales......as it sold 150K....& the SW didn't echo the HW effects

All I'm saying is that Maxwell shoudln't be so quick to say "the spike has proven people were re-buying ps3's"

Apart from Japan in fact, its done the opposite

@dbot

No seece & soriku are reasonable people

I'm going by WW figures. I took out all the new games released in the last 2 weeks, and software rose, 370k. Still pretty good, but not 500k. Which is all I was correcting
