Dude the PS3 is outselling the DS right now with Move, there's still GT5 to boost sales into oblivion in EMEAA and several more price cut's to go, it's still at $299 and $350, imagine sales for a $199 PS3.


You think those factors will boost it permanently? Haven't historical trends taught you the temporariness of price cuts? The fact that they may boost sales for a few weeks but just fizzle into nothing? That one game never boosts sales that much? Maybe for a couple weeks? 

The PS3 will return to its original levels after the holiday, perhaps slightly larger than before. Its sales will decline into 2012 with the PS4 on the horizon. The Wii is also going to pass the 110 million mark, so if you think the PS3 is going to almost triple its LTD sales when it's life is 80% over, you've got another thing coming.


The Slim / $299 was only temporary?  It's a year later and the sales are still up alot from this time last year.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
