PS3 faces some modestly difficult comparisons through the month, particularly on the last week which saw the release of Sengoku Basara 3 and the white PS3 model in Japan. August is more of the same, I would expect a $50 cut at Gamescon to put it pretty steeply in the positive on a weekly basis.
360... well it's obviously got some VERY steep comparisons this month. August offers a slight reprieve but looking at its current baseline a price cut would need to more than double sales to put it into consistently positive YOY territory up until the Halo Reach launch in September.
Wii is currently hovering around similar numbers as last year. Whether or not the deterioration of the price cut will have it fall back into negative territory again remains to be seen. At the very least it doesn't have too many difficult comparisons up until November.
Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4
