I think that PS3 will stay on top. UK chart didn't really show a big increase in X360 sales (one would expect that people buying X360 would also buy more games with it). American sales however low aren't really different from last week for X360/PS3 comparision (X360 around 6-7k higher). I think that PS3 will stay higher than X360 in Others but even if it won't than Japan should help with around 15k more for PS3.

Reports from the first weekend, show 360 sales up 40%. So expect them to get close to 100k for the full week.

Isn't that UK only?  360 does okay there (English speaking seems to be the key) but that only means another 40% of what, around 20,000 units?  So say another 8000 ro so.  That's not going to change anything.  If the 40% translated across all of Others then sure, but in places like Spain or France I doubt the same response as UK.

Personally I think MS waited too long with the price cut and its now landing too close to GT5:P in Europe.  It'll help get a spike in UK, and help get them a few more UK GTA IV sales but I'm not convinced yet its going to change general trend in Others as a whole.
