I would be surprised if the PS3 weren't up year over year in the first eight months of the year.

Worldwide yes, but in the USA specifically February 2009 was a relatively good month for the PS3 primarily because of Killzone 2, as has been pointed out. With the shortages it was having and if Heavy Rain hadn't sold as well as it did I would have expected it to be a little down in the USA this month.

Killzone 2 is a Red Herring in this, the boost wasn't that big.

68% is actually a pretty significant boost.
