How the hell does Ps3 increased so much in NA ?

Promotions ?

Mad gift card deals. Sony is trying to stock out on thier 160gb ps3

Is the bolded knowledge (a source would be cool!) or conjecture?

Anecdotally I'd argue that given the amount of stock present in the channels post holidays that the gift card promotions were meant to thin out the heard a little bit.

Note: I'm not suggesting that Sony OVERSTUFFED the channels beyond belief, I'm suggesting that demand for the the PS3's in NA was over-estimated and the post holiday gift card incentives were used to address that.

On topic, good numbers for all; strange to see the Wii behind the PS3 and 360 though...just so used to it being at the top!
