Small bump? If I'm not mistaken, sales went up 180% AND put the PS3 past the Wii....far from a small bump

 

Well I wouldn't call it a small bump but it wasn't the saviour that Sony fans were hoping for. The weekly worldwide hardware sales for the PS3 the week before the release of MGS4 was around 150,000. Then it doubled to over 300,000 on the release week. Then the following weeks were about 170,000 and 160,000. So sales are almost back to normal for the PS3. And you do realize that any week the PS3 beats the Wii it is because of supply issues right?

So theoretically, if the PS3 amazingly sold about 800k (joking) and beats the Wii out, it's because of Wii short supply? I could turn around and say that when the Wii beats the PS3, it's because of 80GB supply shortage....but that's nonsense. I just don't understand why you believe that when the Wii loses out, for only one week might I add, that it's because of super short supply. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Wii has sold about the same (high numbers) week in and week out. The PS3 passed it for one week. So now that given week that the PS3 won, the Wii was in short supply? When it sold nearly the same as the week prior? Come on now
