next week is a good bet, because it's Fifa and  PES week (atleast in germany, PES is a bit later in UK I heard), although the Reach effect might still be a bit too big

really? You know the future now...

When does pro evo come out in japan for ps3?

did you people actually think the bump came from people who were aware or waiting for move to come out. a bump on the 2nd week is only normal.

everywhere i go i see move and people trying it out on stores. parents have to yell at the kids to drop it cause they want to go home, seriously i witnessed that...

i actually didnt expect it to apeal this much to a casual audience since motion controls arent even a new thing but they seem quite drawn to it and people tend to croud around it.

still this ps3 bump was quite a surprise to me =)

I put an edit now... my mistake.

So a new question for you: Kinect will boost 360 sales more than GT5 will boost PS3 sales on short term (release or November only)???

Middle and long term I knew  your awnser "no".

Yes for the coming holiday season

For "ever" is debatable.

I agree. A suprise, but a nice one.

At least Sony are staying true to their mantra: Quality over Hype.

FYI: Here in New Zealand the move feels like it's getting some good traction with the public. Haven't seen much TV, but radio has been going hard and plenty of advertising at the movies etc. Maybe that Kevin Butler shout out to NZ helped!

Don't think any of us need a Crystal ball to predict Black OPs diverting a lot of sales from GT5 in the month of November.

I see now Kinect launch is a week later in Europe.

GT5: November 3
Kinect: November 10

US is the same week.

Am I the only one thinking the boost has more to do with F1 2010 than Move? If next week sales return under 60k I would say I'm probably right, so we'll see.
