GT5 should have least impact % wise on PS3 hardware in the USA, but it will likely still be up over last BF here, because of GT5, even though it has been trending below 2009 pace in the USA since September.


It's understandable why it would be down in September but it's not like it was down hugely in October. Only 22% in October NPD, and that was with Uncharted 2 releasing last year. It's barely been down recently, a mere 5k down this week. Between the amazing deals, almost as good as last years, and GT5 I think PS3 will be up noticeably on last BF.

Are you guys forgetting that the White SKU's for PS3 will be released in America. Sales will be huge for the new colors.

 

EDIT: Here's the source

The red Wii is tied to Mario's anniversary and comes with NSMBWii.  How much did the black Wii bump US sales back in the spring? ;)

IIRC a moderate bump, nothing huge. Although that was at the beginning of the slow time of year when Wii was just starting to enter the software drought and losing practically all momentum.
