Sales - America HW up! - View Post

What what the heck made PS3 jump so high.

Wasn't really a jump.  The ps3 was doing ~90k a week in NA through most of January, then started doing 80k consistantly throughout February.  It seems like its sales are tied directly too how much Sony can ship (either 80 or 90k per week - not sure where that other 10k is going).

Here's the ps3's weekly sales in North America for the past two months:

Jan 2 - 132k
Jan 9th - 105k
Jan 16th - 79k
Jan 23rd - 89k
Jan 30th - 90k
Feb 6th - 79k
Feb 13th - 76k (lowest point)
Feb 20th - 82k
Feb 27th - 92k

So every week since the third week of January it has sold either ~90k or ~80k per week, give or take 2k in either direction.  Not sure where that other 10k is going some weeks.  Stockpiles for God of War?

Edit:

Though I suppose given the margin of error, such comparisons down to the single thousands place are kinda pointless.
