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.

 

It performed very well.  Just compare it's sales to those last week.  The reason the average is so high is because the last three months included GT5P, GTAIV, and MGS4.  Gran Turismo is the largest franchise in Europe ignoring the Wii series, and GT5P provided a considerable boost that lasted for weeks. 

The ps3 didn't underperform this week.  It's just been overperforming on average for the past three months.
