Reasonable said:
Another 2 to 3 weeks and we should see where the 360 baselines again in the US. Now we're looking at 5 to 6 weeks to see the same for Others. Japan is already back to baseline.
PS3 selling well in the face of the new 360 so I don't think we're going to see any major swings one way or the other out of this, so I guess soon it'll be all eyes on Move and Kinect to see how they upset the applecart.
PSP remains very week worldwide and would be really bad if not for Japan.
Nothing much in SW apart from the decent (but modest in size) start for Crackdown 2.
I do remain curious about the ratio of new 360 owners to existing owners buying Slims, as the SW for 360 doesn't seem to be seeing much of a boost from the Slim sales. I'm working on the assumption that anyone who waited for the clearance sale on the old models wouldn't be spending a lot on new SW but instead are probably hitting the second hand market, but I'd expect a big glut of new Slim owners to start buying up the core titles but there doesn't seem too much evidence for that.
It's so hard to tell though.

Don't know if we see the same in Others for 5-6 weeks, I expect it only for 2-3, mainly because there was a pre-order time in Others for 4 weeks. So I guess first week there will be very huge (better than in NA), but it will fall faster in the following weeks.
Honestly, I assume the exact same thing. I think many replaced their old 360 because the new one is simply better. One of the main reasons may be that the slim doesn't have RROD anymore (and I heard that it's also not as loud as the old one, not sure about this). And I would even do the same if I used my Xbox more often.
