I expect a number of about 250k for Reach's first week. Not a mega huge increase but a bit of a spike none the less.
However as indicated above when GT5 releases sales of all consoles naturally increase towards the holidays to the point it will be hard to tell how much of a bump happened.
Personally i still think the 360 will outsell the PS3 worldwide for the week of GT5's launch. Reason for me thinking that is whatever happens 360 is going to be up year over year on it's 7th november 2009 sales. Which was 311k. There is no way we are going to see the yoy increase drop to nothing in just a couple of months. The console is still getting 180k a week a few months after the re-model, and that is the supposed quiet period.
However the PS3 sold 316k for the same week the previous year. Logically you have to think it will be down year over year. Those numbers came off the back of a price cut and a re-model. It is already down yoy in some regions i.e europe. The question is will GT5 give the PS3 a potential 100k-200k boost in hardware to put it beyond that 316k figure to be up year over year?
So i think GT5 will shift more consoles then Halo Reach does initially but the numbers will get lost in the natural increased sales towards the holidays. But i don't think it will give it a boost to get it above the 360 for that week. Thus won't really get seen as a boost at all.

damn i should of named the thread differently
you believe 360 will outsell it that week? it did 311k last year b/c it had GTA LCS, Forza and Dragon age what its going to have this Oct?
i believe PS3 will sell upwards of 400k WW that week you think the 360 can beat that?

Kinnect, Black ops, Bundles, hoilday, ect.
GT5 is also launching agianst COD which will overshadow it in America and maybe the EMAA.
Also M$ will cut the price on the xbox 360 during that time . I remeber the week of GOW3 the xbox price got cut in half. I lol'd so hard becaucse that cost ps3 some sales during that time.
GT5 will move more HW than Reach for sure, but not by much. I dont think it will sell 400k more ps3's. IF Reach can sell 400k xbox's next week than I know GT5 will. If Reach dosnt than I dont think so.

i dont think kinect will release WW for Gt5 week if so its not really in a position to be part of the argument b/c Move launches earlier, and Move launches justa couple days before GT5 in Japan
as for BO ill let the preorder charts do the talking PS3s PO are massively up from MW2 while 360s are pretty flat with MW2 so its not like BO will only help 360
as for that price cut yeah i keep hearing bout that ever since slim came out but do you really think MS will cut there prices when they been winning NPDs and alot of WW weeks here on VGC? and no MS cut there 360s price many weeks before gow3 release
GT5 wont sell 400k more PS3s i meant i believe PS3 will be in the 400k WW range total for that week
