360 HW boost still nice although the Gears SW is less than I figured. I thought it would be 550K to 600K - still, a good second week nonetheless.

PS3 okay I think for time of year and status as second choice in the region. Good opening for ICO/SOTC too. Seeing LBP2 above Deus Ex makes me realize LBP2 needs a Deus Ex level... must explore this.

Wii pretty low and no titles in the top 10 (although a fair number below that).

Everything else as expected. Depending on Japan/EMEAA it could be another close PS3/360 week.

I think FIFA gave XB360 a help bigger than expected to keep Gears 2nd week drop very low. XB360 could become 1st lifetime in America in 2-3 years if Ninty doesn't resurrect Wii, even sooner if Ninty instead kills it young.

Good point.  The second week Gears SW was a bit lower than I expected but it's easy to see the combined lift from Gears and Fifa delivering the HW numbers shown.
