@Zack - as numerous people have pointed out even with the increase in sales of the PS3 the gap in installed base between the 360 and PS3 is still widening - 300K units for the entire month of October and 39K in the last week ...
Too somehow read into that that the PS3 is now "poised" for some comeback defies logic.
As for $'s spent - consumers are still spending more in total on the 360 on hardware alone. If you throw in games to the mix the $'s spent on the 360 dwarf the PS3 substantially. If I recall correctly the week ending 10/27 had the 360 with 16 titles in the top 200 America's Chart with lifetime sales of over 500K ... the PS3 had 2.
Its not that gamers don't spend money on consoles and games - it is that they spend money where they see value. Right now that is with the Wii and 360 with the PS3 a distant third.
