I know that this will be an unpopular view, but I really believe that PS3 (and 360) sales were elevated all throughout the spring, and are now returning to "normal" sales levels. Grand Theft Auto and (for PS3) the victory of Blu-Ray in the format war had sales much higher than usual for the first four months of the year. Now we're seeing the non-holiday sales of both platforms, that's all. It's not like the 360 is tearing things up either in America.

At the very least, I find that much more plausible than the notion that thousands of people are waiting for a new PS3 bundle. (Some of you are REALLY setting yourselves up for disappointment with Metal Gear Solid...)

Couldn't have said it better myself. Haha PS3 fanboys I await the dissapointing numbers when you see that even with the bundle it won't move alot of consoles. Cmon $499 is too high. Only ppl buying is the desperate SONY hardcore fanboys. They are trying hard though LOL. If it sells 350k thats an accomplishment even though it isn't alot. Its funny how all the top games for PS3 are always bundled and still has a waaaaay lower software ratio than 360 and even the casual gaming system that is the Wii(just pathetic really). Seems even SONY doesn't believe in its own console unlike MS with 360. I think we can finally have more respect towards Halo 3 as it didn't release a new controller, new console and no bundle and no $100 off in Walmart and BestBuy anddd a lower install base and still we all know it that it will have moved more consoles and sold more than SONY's pathetic attempt that is MGS4. HELL I doubt MGS4 can even beat GeOW in sales. HAHAHA!!!
