Seems like PS3 is up a lot this week in Europe (UK + Ger)

And when it comes to USA, I am disappointed in Sony. From an outside perspective, the best bundle available on BF, from a value standpoint was the PS3 with LbP2 and Ratchet for 199, and from what we can see, there was a very limited number of bundles shipped. I don´t care if Sony lost money from those consoles. Sony needs to be aggressive in a Market where they are losing big time.

I bet with anybody, that if there were 500k 199 LBP2 and Ratchet PS3s in BF, they would sell all of them in half a day. It seems like a fanboy statement, but I am just being an honest consumer, that bundle at that price is just crazy. Once again, I would probably lose money (if I was Sony), but I would settle my console to have a great December month in a country where I am losing to everybody big time.

360 monster as usual, they understood that there was demand for the 360 bundles plus Kinnect, and they shipped big time, and they won BF week.
Wii, I don´t understand the surprise, Wii will be the best selling Home console in December, that is what a dirt cheap console can do.
Ps3, great to be up YoY, but I think Sony lost an opportunity to be up a lot more.

I totally agree with you that the PS3 lost out on an opportunity to pull big numbers. My girlfriends sister works at Radioshack who were supposed to have the PS3 bundle in question but received none. I'm still not sure how that happens when it was advertised for all Radioshacks, but it seems only the really big ones received the bundle and only a few at that. The worst part is many stores are offering the 160Gb for $199 but many don't want it because they feel it's not worth it if it comes with no games. Hopefully that stigma is anecdotal only and wears off quickly. Hopefully Sony can release that bundle or one similar right before Christmas for one more boost.
