My best guess is that PS3 sales will increase to roughtly (Edit: Between 65,000 and 80,000) in North America for a couple/few weeks then may drop slightly, but then pick up again due to Fall/ holiday time demands. (except expect a boost week of Sept 10th which is the week Resistance 3 releases).


For world wide Im guessing PS3 will increase to around (Edit: Between 185,000 and 200,000)units weekly for a few weeks and then drop a bit for a short period until Fall/ holiday demands set in. (except expect a boost week of Sept 10th which is the week Resistance 3 releases).

IMO if MS does not drop the price of the X360 they will be behind PS3 for a few weeks WW by about 60,000-80,000. Then if MS still does not drop the price they will still make gains due to the Fall time demands and will be behind around 30,000-40,000 WW on average. HOWEVER, don't forget we have some big releases for both consoles this September including Resistance 3, Gears 3, Madden (usually gives a slight boost), Fifa. So there will be a lot of sales fluctuations in September. I think the biggest boost will be Gears 3. That is by far the biggest release name in September and probably for the year in terms of Hardware boosts. Yes, Resistance is big as well but not even close to Gears 3.

I thought that after the release of Gears 2 it was clear Gears was no longer a hardware seller?
