So just to be clear. This is a survey of US gamers only? US is a relatively small market for GT games, though no doubt with NASCAR on board PD will be hoping to grab more US attention.

Conservatively let's say GT5 will double GT5P sales over time. In the US GT5P has done .98M to date. I'll assume 80% of that is US sales, so about 0.78M GT5P. Double that is 1.56M GT5 sales in the US. 33% (corrected figures in the article) of 1.56M = 515K PS3 sales over the time it will take to sell that 1.56M games. Lets assume it will take 1 year to sell that much in the US, so that amounts to a weekly average HW boost for PS3 of about 10K or 10% of weekly sales.

It's by no means legitimate to extrapolate US gamer survey data to Europe where GT is huge. It's quite possible that 90 or 95% of GT5 buyers in Europe already have a PS3, so the HW moving potential overall could be a lot less than the 33% might suggest on initial viewing.
