I hate to flame, but the PS3 sales are quite pathetic. It had four (five?) days of price cut. If it can't show a decent boost after all that time despite the fact that price cuts are generally frontloaded, then it very much looks like the price cut failed. Let's keep in mind that it's only up 2k YOY. Heck, even Wii's flat YOY at the moment. This could lead to a 2010 holiday situation for PS3 and Wii at this rate. Sony had better hope that the lack of awareness excuse holds some value.

Sudden price cuts are most definitely not always front loaded.

Do you really think that five days isn't enough for the word to spread? By the weekend, which is probably when half the week's sales occur, most people probably already knew about the price cut. Either way, it would be better to wait for next week's numbers than to argue about it. I could be wrong.
