Does anyone know when or if the PS3 has dropped below 35K WW since it launched? I couldn't find a week when it had, though I only went through ~1 1/2 years of data. If it hasn't, that's very troubling when it launched for $200 more than the Wii U and didn't have a heavy hitter, like GT5, at launch.

It never dropped that low, and I believe it has only had one week below 50k.  That was before it even launched in Europe.

Damn, that's what I thought.  So, the PS3 only being out in two major regions, a price tag of $200 higher, and no 2D Mario-like game (saleswise, not genrewise) has never dropped below 35K.  Wii U is most likely going to end up around 30M-40M.  Well, unless Nintendo gives it a drastic price cut, like $80-100.

I think the PS3 dropping to $199 or lower this year, along with the many AAA games releasing for it, should keep it north of 8M.  Can't say the same about the 360, and not too sure about the Wii U.
