well the slowing of momentum is a fact... not sure why anyone here is tryingto say it isnt so. And saying its still above WW week after week is true, but its a shrinking gap. It sisnt so long agio that people were saying the slim would be so far ahead that the lifetime gap would fall quickly... that is simply not going to happen at the current rates.

PS3 and 360 may be almost identical in weekly sales soon....



                   PS3   XBOX 360 Difference

the gap is falling every week.






 

Somehow, I consider Zen's application of the word momentum to be different than yours. Yours is based purely on what they sell. His (imho) is how their momentum is way higher than their current ability to keep up with it and how - in that regard - they are failing to capitalize. So their momentum may not have diminished, while their selling capabilities at the moment have been hampered by a (self-proclaimed) lack of units, which in turn may lead to diminished momentum in the end.

 

The only way we'll probably ever know whether their momentum has been affected is if they manage to get decent supplies in and then seeing whether sales also pick up (if they do, the momentum wasn't harmed that much / if it doesn't pick up, then it has been harmed or there wasn't that much momentum to begin with)
