@superchunk, on that graph, x360 had a PRICECUT and PS3 just GT5P release. =))
After that PS3 numbers were always near or above 100k.
Anyway, there was only GT5P bundle in Europe for last cople months.
NOW we will get WW MGS4 bundle. Moreover, in USA there will again released 80GB model, which will have additional boost. =)
GTA4 wasn`t bundled. Had a multiplatform launch.
Maybe MGS potentially has only 5-6 mln. sellthrough, still that`s MANY people. And NOT all of them bought PS3.
+ MGS4 will define NEXTGEN gaming for next years. =)
Well, just wait 2 weeks and you will see. :)
p.s. i wish Europe and Japan would have 80GB model too, then increase would be BIGger. =)
