 It's still a day 0_o you can't discount it just to make the situation look better. It was announced on the 16th, so it had a full day on the 17th ...

Sorry... but the situation looks better even price cut was a full week.

40% boost is great for a $50 cut... next week there are more boost.

Don'st try to make the situation look bad :D.

I'd say its good, not great.  If it is sustained then its very good, if it drops away to say 15% to 20% after 2 or 3 weeks its poor, because then it will still be down YOY by quite a bit.

for reference the price cut in 2009 (yes $100) did this:

38k (pre cut)

108k (184% on pre)

167k (340% on pre)

115k

84k

80k (360 managed to sell more again due to ODST)

and then maintained this level and increased going into holidays, so the long term impact was to increase sales by over 100%.

Which would be great for you? Stabilize in 80k after three or four weeks? this won't happen.

PS3 is weak in US compared to 360... 40%  boost in first week is better than I expected.
