How the hell does Ps3 increased so much in NA ?

Promotions ?

Mad gift card deals. Sony is trying to stock out on thier 160gb ps3

Is the bolded knowledge (a source would be cool!) or conjecture?

Anecdotally I'd argue that given the amount of stock present in the channels post holidays that the gift card promotions were meant to thin out the heard a little bit.

Note: I'm not suggesting that Sony OVERSTUFFED the channels beyond belief, I'm suggesting that demand for the the PS3's in NA was over-estimated and the post holiday gift card incentives were used to address that.

On topic, good numbers for all; strange to see the Wii behind the PS3 and 360 though...just so used to it being at the top!

Its a rumor: Sony is trying to get rid of the 160gb to bring in a "hack proof" 300 gb Ps3. It makes sense too with all the deals and bundles going around.

Not to mention that the PS3 litterally just started posting a profit on hardware for the first time since its launch.  Its been a massive loss of money and people forget that due to how great the system is doing now, but Sony needs to earn all that cash back that they lost.  There will be no price cut this year, only newer types of bundles to try to increase value in the consumers eyes.

Iight PS3 in the lead, well sorta but still. Wii is falling off the wagon, very good numbers on the PSP as well.

Nah, that's Nintendo's mentality. I'm pretty sure they will, even if by only $50.

Just started?It's posting a profit since last year,PSN should also start posting profit in the upcoming months,and this year,with more software than ever,I think it's safe to say that they will cut the price around September/October.
