Finally 3DS is selling well, I didn't expect this big bump, but I guess for a 40% price cut it was the least. Now where will it settle? My guess is over 190k for the rest of the year, which would mean about 3x boost, pretty amazing for it...still, will it be enough for the 16m Nintendo predicted? I'm not sure on this one...

I don't know about 15 million but I wouldn't try and extrapolate too much from the initial boost.  It's a real quiet time of the year and therefore any cut was simply going to get the minimal spike without any big new SW.  The price cut seemed timed to me to get PS3 ready to be more attractive during the glut of games releasing through September and up to the big December spike.  We won't really know how well the PS3 price cut worked until January 2012 TBH.

It's pretty obvious from current comments that MS is probably not going to officially cut the RRP but will use bundles and other promotional offers to essentially offer a price cut from the consumer perspective (consumers seeing a promotion and a price cut as equally attractive, in fact often promotions are seen as more attractive for a short period) and counter the PS3 price cut without having to formally annouce an ongoing permenant price reduction.

Going to be an interesting close to 2011 from a sales perspective, with each HD platform releasing big exclusives plus a lot of big multi-games as well with the hardware cheaper than ever whether due to promotions or price cuts.

I forgot about this game. Damn, 30k, I hoped for a lot more, but to be fair it's not out in most of Europe (Is it just a UK exclusive?), and it released only 2 days before the chart.

Hope this makes it to Americas, I can easilly see this game topping 100k week 1.

Well we will still see if the PS3 bost mimics the Wii boost in a couple weeks time. Predicting what will happen during the holidays, it's still far too soon. However we can still track PS3's progress during the next few weeks, and if it falls below 2010 weekly sales, I think it's somewhat safe to expect 2011 annual sales to be lower then 2010 (if holiday sales are equal, the slightly lower sales pre-price cut will make 2011 overall less).

As for MS, do uyu really think they won't cut the price of 360? They will at least cut Kinects price if you ask me, and MS also plans 15 million for their fiscal year (ending June 2012), so they must be planning something. I'm thinking they are timing the price cut to go along a more major release, or maybe they are making a Kinect integrated console. They must be planing something otherwise 15 million is a dream.

good raise for the 3DS, PS3 a bit disappointing, but next week I think it'll go higher

EU software is so low because this site cant track everything.
There are a shitload of games that has already been released and on this site it says it sold 0 copies.(ps3)

No,  released almost everywhere in EU....Except Italy where it releases begin september? Remember a forum member complaining about it;

Guys. Look at my post above. Those Xenoblade numbers are far from bad!

True, in Italy it'll be released on September 2nd...but I doubt we're a great RPG market :/

now is the NMH heroes paradise the same game as NMH or NMH2 on the wii

i'd like to know for my update TY
