The most impressive thing to me at this point is the fact that 1 year after the slim and pricecut the PS3 is still up 66% YoY.
Sadly, for Sony, unless Kinect is met with overwhelming negative feedback i dont see what compelling offers the PS3 can offer this holiday WW to compete with the buzz that Kinect will surely cause.
Since Sony has already priced th enew Move model, a $50 price cut seems out of the question, which is pretty much all i could see taking th ePS3 safely to 1st place this holiday. Now its more of a toss up but im going to give the nod to the 360 just based on pre Kinect/Move guesstimation.

66%?

Maybe because a YoY comparison means to the last week before Slim launched in 2009 when the PS3 sold like 90K.

If you looked at the numbers, which i did......

In July of last year, the WW PS3 sales were 98k, the difference from this week is not due to the decline of last years weekly sales preslim its due to the larger volume of this year. Had we seen sales dip this week in 2009 id agree with you, but the % difference YoY is not due to lower volume in regards to the preslim weeks its due to the growth THIS YEAR of sustained PS3 sales.
As you see the PS3 was at 98k July 10th, well before the slim and cut....the PS3 is simply just tracking very well a year after.

Okay okay.
Was you the guy who made those lenghty analysis of generation sales a year ago or so, in particular when sales of a console peak?

No way. I wouldnt even have posted what i did or been aware if it werent for Seece's helpful table in his signature and the poster who posts the YoY software and hardware, haha.
But as the news posting alludes. Its going to slightly dip YoYTD and a huge negative YoY weekly in september because of what you mentioned, the slim being released. But the last 8 months being up 45% YoY should ease th eblow, im very anxious to compare weekly YoY numbers from October on to REALLY see how well the PS3 Slim is holding up YoY.
