dude October is a stronger month than August and summer so yes.

really? its a good thing that mods are tough here.

Not true.

This time last year people were expecting the PS3 to not top 300k in the Slim week, and quickly fall back down to 3rd place.

If you say what you just said in say... A Month's time. Then you will be right

Actually.

I remember VGC predicting that the PS3 Slim will move about 600k units in all September last year.

It did that in pretty much a single week

If Kinect doesn't push alot of hardware for X360 in Nov-Dec then there isn't anything to really push X360 in a huge way over the last couple of months. Halo / Call of Duty / Fable / Fallout are all sequels with one to several previous entries on X360. Medal of Honor and some others will push hardware, but there was unique stuff last year too. There will be some ongoing help from the Slim / new models but it just doesn't look like a dramatically better Christmas season given than X360 hardware sales declined last year.I still wouldn't be that surprised if it was down - if you look at PS3 last year weekly sales only doubled from the initial week of the PS3 Slim Price cut to the best week of the year. X360 had a temporary price cut, not a permanent one - I don't know that you can expect as big a lift from Slim week one to peak holiday week. The people shopping for Christmas don't give a damn about models just whether they have to buy a X360, Wii, PS3, DS, PSP or whatever, so the lack of a price cut / sequels would normally indicate flat to down Christmas for a system as old as the X360 even with the Slim. With Kinect and the new games for it, in addition to the sequels, and Slim it probably will be up a small amount. If Kinect flops, it will be down though. These Slim line models never seem to accompany any real software lifts either if you look at the totals when they launch - even though the overall base goes up, I don't know that they really sell to new users. I would never choose to not buy / buy a system based on its size - if you want the thing you can make room. In terms of interest from new users, even with Kinect and Move all three consoles are going to be in decline this Christmas, even though X360 will be up a bit and Wii / PS3 only down a bit.

Good numbers. Also, did Metroid Other M boost sales ? And does the PS Move come out next week ?

I wonder if the Target deal helped with the sales a little?  Also, the release of Metroid: Other M, however, I would think that would effect the numbers that will be posted next week.

Wow so no one is going to talk about software. I just find it interesting how much more popular Madden is for PS3 owners than it is for 360 owners. If you take the sales vs US install base Madden has sold to around 4.4% of PS3 owners vs. 3.1% of 360 owners. 

im not talking about sales predictions! its just that were getting more fanboys coming in, most of the new owners are trolls and they say bold statements without solid arguements. its just annoying.

Probably because of multi-console owners, The ps3 version was advertised more this year and it also had some exclusive content IIRC.
