That huge spike will happen again whenever the PS3 drops to $200. This will happen in either 2011 or 2012. Plus, there are plenty of game launches that could cause a relatively large spike. GT5 and possibly FFV13 come to mind. Another factor is that Sony still haven't been able to fully address the shortages in America, yet. So, sales will probably see a small boost once there are enough PS3 units in retail and online stores. |
Just like 360's large spike from 2008 will happen again this year if it price cuts with the Slim + Natal + big games.
EDIT: Ah, theRepublic beat me to it.
Also, PS3 units should be meeting demand as of this week (so should show up in numbers in a week or 2 on VGC). Also, even ioi himself said that up until this March 20th sales figures, there really wasn't a "shortage" because if you wanted a PS3 you could still find one with minor effort.
