Americas Up 3rd Sep.

[Alby_da_Wolf]

PS3 is the only one up. But it looks like XB360 doesn't need a price cut if MS is happy with weekly leadership and 2nd place lifetime in America, for home consoles, obviously, of which PS3 should keep weekly WW leadership for a while and keep on aim for WW 2nd place lifetime in the mid term, unless either MS or Ninty do something outstanding. 3DS down, but it could stabilize around good levels before rising again for late Autumn and holidays

Both Balance Board and Kinect dropped a lot this week: do classic controller sports blockbusters like Madden "steal" the spotlight from motion control sports and fitness games and their dedicated peripherals? Just a crazy hypothesis, but I'm puzzled, SW totals are up a lot this week in America, after another boost last week, and HW is down very little (except PS3 up and 3DS down more than the average), so either HW or SW sales ties to those peripherals should at worst take them down very little and at best even boost them, not make them drop more than 20%.
