Hardware didn't underperform in Others.

If you look at the last 6 months hardware has been averaging 118k/week for the last 3 months there since GT5P came out.

It was averaging 85k before that.

For the record the PS2 didn't get a single week over 100k/week outside of holydays in its first 2 years in Others...

 

What you have just said is that the PS3's hardware boost is even lower than the week on week figures indicate.

This is far and away the biggest exclusive the PS3 has had, and its the biggest exclusive the PS3 will have until GT5 or FFXIII (whichever hits first). Sony fans everywhere were counting on masses of PS2 owners upgrading to boost the PS3, and your telling me it only got bumped by 1000 units over its recent average?

Metal Gear Solid 4 performed excellently in Others, the PS3, did not.

 

Hey look everybody it's starcraft and he's saying negative things about the ps3 who would have thunk it...

In europe metal gear gave a 27,000 boost in hardware sales and that doesn't include spain where the game hasn't launched yet and that would add another 5,000 onto the hardware sales.

Famitsu have released their numbers this morning and have said ps3 hardware is 77,000~ for the week so that's a 67,000 boost from last week.

Vgchartz have said in america metal gear increased sales 180% so that means it would have sold 120,000~ ps3's for the weeks which is a 77,000~ boost.

In total that's a 176,000 boost, but hey i'm sure you'll try and find some way to knock that :).
