America up...

For the coming week MAG won't move any hardware (well maybe PS3 will go up 1 or 2 %, or perhaps stay the same, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see PS3 drop on MAG week). ME2 will help 360 sales hold steady, or even cause a small spike (maybe as much as 5%). If ODST could cause a 15%(?) lift the week of its release ME2 can surely give 360 a 5% helping hand. However that may well be bringing forward 360 sales that would have happened anyway but in subequent weeks, which could lead to a following week drop by the same or bigger %.

Weekly sales seem to have completely evened out as of last week so I wouldn't expect PS3 to go down when next week's numbers arrive, even if MAG only produces a small bump. Even if PS3 is down next week in America though, I'd still definitely expect it to be up worldwide thanks to MAG, Ar tonelico III, End of Eternity, and Last Rebellion all releasing in Japan.

Since we're in the "America up..." thread I was talking only about Americas. WW could go up a tad, but really how much with those Japan releases increase HW sales? They don't seem like hardware movers to me, though I admit the Japan market wrt non-FF/DQ JRPGs is still a mystery to me; and even DQ was unknown to me until very recently.
