 I'm going to take a WILD guess and say the week where PS3 sold even more than Wii in OTHERS?

MGS4 WILL cause a hardware boost for 2-3 weeks....there is no denying that im afraid. Go stroke your xbox360 anybody who disagrees

Well if you can't see the spike before GTA Iv and now a constant of 90K + instead of 70K then I don't know which graph you are seeing

GT 5 prologue cause a HUGE spike & has a solid pro-longed effect....

@superchunk

right this is EU ONLY not the "total others graph"

http://www.vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=Europe&cons2=PS3&reg2=Europe&cons3=X360&reg3=Europe&start=39453&end=39600

see the spike before GTA 4....despite 360 price drop GT 5 prologue resulted in that spike...only a demo..

1. I've seen more than a couple threads/posts about MGS4 saving grace.

2.  So, you are refering to a small spike that had no lasting effect. Exactly my point. MGS4 will not have a lasting effect, only a small 1-2 week change.

I can't waut until the acolytes move onto Killzone 2. The list of discarded saviors gets longer and longer.

i can think of just one person who has claim such thing, he's rock on wrong though. One game does not have huge effect, a great library will help the ps3 and so far the ps3 is slowly building up their game library.

I think he realizes what week it was. He asked where the "dramatic change" was. It caused PS3 sales to jump to 140k+ but they quickly tumbled back down to 100k and even just under that before GTA week hit and now after both titles have released they've settled back under a 100k. There wasn't a "dramatic change" with sustained growth in sales is what he meant to say contrary to what many people expect.

@superchunk

before GT 5 prologue PS3 was averaging 70K after it 90K +....really are you acting blind?
