There are a few things which need to be brought up in order to make this meaningful ...
- What is a normal hourly/daily/weekly sales number for the PS3 on Amazon
- What is the quantity of Wii and XBox 360 systems sold on an hourly/daily/weekly basis
- How long will this sales spike last
- What will the sales be like after the initial spike
- Is the Blu-Ray remote being the #2 PS3 item a sign that people are buying this as a Blu-Ray player that also plays games
As much as a 1 week 25,000 to 50,000 sales increase in North America would be great for the PS3 it really needs a long term sales increase and it needs to start gaining ground on the Wii and XBox 360; if sales return to 'normal' next week or the week following that demonstrates something far different than if sales continue at this pace for the next 6 months.
