With all the PS3's being sold these days, the question is, what are these people playing?

The trend continues in Europe: http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_date.php?reg=Europe&ending=Weekly

Sales of the PS3 are highest in Europe, but the hardware sales don't match with the SW sales data:

Most of these games, except FIFA, are games pure Sony fans would play, games previous owners would buy. So what are the recent PS3 purchases explained by?

Are these just replacements of the old PS3 model? Is it the blu-ray??

Did I misread the front page? I thought it said: 121,073 for PS3.

It's always the blu-ray. That's what saved the PS3. *troll face*
OT: It's probably because they are downloading or they just bought it for one game. Either way, I don't why so many are being sold.

Does the PS3 have any issues where it breaks down a lot like the early 360?

Blu-ray is a big deal now. Not sure if it has over taken DvD sales yet though. It may be worth it for people to just buy this and some games they have been wanting to play. Have you checked out older games and seen if any are on the rise?

Sadly I can't sort by Week # in the SW sales page... The tools are so lame now!

Anyways, here are a few old games I spotted:
