Sorry I dont believe the Europe PS3 numbers at all.

Year	Week before BF Week	BF Week	BF Week Note
2011	151,910	275,573	No major new releases
2010	147,175	267,139	GT5 releases and sells 991,996
2009	184,119	200,123	No major new releases

As you can see this years Europe PS3 numbers look just like last year except no new release at all like GT5 last year.  This years week over week change should be more like 2009. 

The earlier price cut has allowed for far more attractive bundles/deals in UK/Europe so again I don't think the numbers are impossible.  I've seen loads of very, very generous PS3 deals across Europe and while I hesitate to talk anecdotally the feeling I get is of higher level of demand.

We'll see if the site adjusts down but this year is different to 2009 in terms of price/bundles with the PS3 coming across a lot cheaper and more attractive in the region.
