It's kind of a funny...

- 360 had no release and just down 3% week on week.

- PS3 had LBP2 and Mass Effect 2 (ok... that's a late port) and down 5%.

That's the motive for I use the words "overtracked" and "undertracked" everytime.

That is because at this stage with nearly 50 million PS3s sold. Software doesnt push console sales. Particularly a sequel and a title that has been available on the more popular console in the west for a year now.  If you were going to purchase a console for ME2 you purchased a 360.

In the PS3 case LBP2 sold consoles...

EMEAA: PS3 (-4%) ; Others (-15%)
US: PS3 (3%); Others (-5%)

So if LBP not pushed consoles PS3 should have sold just 190k... not 212k.
