If memory serves me correctly, this isn't the first time Sony claimed a huge boost in PS3 sales and those turned out to not be so huge relative to other consoles or historical trends.

Here we get no numbers, no percentages....not even shipment figures.

 now.. if you are talking about Price cut boost, PS3 went up about 300%.... now, I'm no expert, but that to me is what I would call "huge"

a number of retailers confirmed this as well

@viper

It's not just sony who confirmed,,,,bunch of retailers also cinfirmed this,,,,And if PS3 didn't get a noticable boost compared to 360,the retaliers would say we saw good spikes in both consoles instead of just mentioning PS3

Every time we've been given PR piece be it from Sony or retailer, it's included a figure. Sales or percentage but something other..."it increased."

And it's not a "bunch of retailers", it's one retailer...Gamestop who commented when quarried about Sony PR piece.
