Hahaha, the amount of damage controll in here from some PS3 fans is just so funny..

If im correct the PS3 was out selling the 360 by 150k a week for 2 months when the PS3 slim was announced and that was without price cuts on existing SKU's. Im not a fanboy im just saying that the 40k bump is largely from people buying older models with the price cut, not the new slim as much which is selling well. I got one with my discount. However if there are still older models around during the holidays and the price cut is still in effect sony will be in lots o trouble

You're partially correct. If memory serves me correctly the existing PS3 units were discounted by $100 after TGS 2009. The slim was released in early September 2009.

Can't speak for World Wide, but in the States, the $100 reduction on existing PS3 SKU's was immediate...that is why I have a PS3 phat, because I wasn't waiting for a slim, I was waiting for (IMO) a reasonable price.
ON topic, I'm actually a little surpised, I wasn't expecting sales that high given the limited availability of the 360 S and lack of advertising of the existing SKU pricecut.
