So, what are the predictions for next week. I think it's clear that PS3 will outsell 360, but does it have a chance at beating Wii for a week?

Some PS3 fans seem to be convinced that PS3 will sell around 200.000 or more (NA) because of the bundles and the first important exclusive.
I think it should sell at least 150.000 (NA) next week to be a moderate success and over 250.000 would be very good.

You think PS3 sales will triple in the USA? 

Did that even happen with the last price cut? 

 

No, I don't think it will happen. GTA launch week didn't even manage to sell that. It is the feeling I get from reading the boards here. I think people should prepare for a massive dissapointment.

I mean last week's numbers are horrible if you take into account that it's the week before the FIRST BIG EXCLUSIVE launches. The thought that every customer knows about the 80GB bundle and is postponing the purchase of a PS3 is laughable. At the very least we should have seen an upward trend.
MGS is not even close to GTA in popularity, despite that one being multiplat it seems clear to me that the impact of GTA (biggest game of the year) is bigger than MGS4. And we all know that the impact wasn't exactly amazing.

 this is different a) gta was not exclusive and b) we knew there was a mgs bundle coming soon, not everyone think a game has to be bough in the first week. I'll buy gta after i get the mgs bundle
