What the odds of PS3 increasing next week|?

Depends. In EMEAA, it's likely, though not by much, Japan will increase the week after next from Xilia, and it may stabilize at 5-10K higher than where it was before the cut in The Americas.

It should stay between 185 & 195k till the holidays (maybe over 200k some weeks). The worldwide gap between it and the 360 will continue to decrease signficantly as well. Should be right at 3 million behind it before the holidays and maybe close it by 500k more during the holidays (give or take).

Why do you think PS3 will go up in EMEAA? Shouldn't it go down after the first full week of pricecut?

Nothing more than a hunch (though as I said, not by much - give ore take 2-5k). In 2009, if I remember correctly, it stayed up in EMEAA for 2 or 3 weeks after the initial cut week. Could be different this time, but it's not out of the question.

How else do people think it will maintain a 200k result until the holidays? :P

I didn't think it would, I thought it would go down to 170,000 and start climbing again as the holiday season approaches.

But I certainly hope you're right.
