There are a few things which need to be brought up in order to make this meaningful ...

1. What is a normal hourly/daily/weekly sales number for the PS3 on Amazon
2. What is the quantity of Wii and XBox 360 systems sold on an hourly/daily/weekly basis
3. How long will this sales spike last
4. What will the sales be like after the initial spike
5. 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.

 

 

 

One more - how has the announcement of the price cut impacted Wii and 360 sales? Most gamers know 1 price cut will be followed by 2 more. How many 360 buyers took their finger off the trigger in anticipation of a new cut? (Odds are the Wii wasn't affected one iota).
