I believe its because of the annoucment of blu-ray disc winning the format war. I expect another boost in OTHERS and NA next week, be it 1-20k.
As for the Xbox 360, Its not sold out, since there are plenty of 360's at my local area. Though it could be they "increased" supply.
I still think the PS3 needs a price cut in order to catch up to there true rival which is nintendo's wii.
2008 end of year predictions:
PS3: 22M
360: 25M
wii: 40M
