PS3 selling 120k this week is a good thing.  But 70k were the special editions that are now gone.  So if you take away those people who special ordered them up front and were obviously waiting for their console, you are left with a pretty average week of 50k.  

 So on the one hand the number looks great.  But on the other hand, it looks less promising.  It'll be interesting to see if the number stays up a little bit or if we go right back to seeing 45-60k each week.  

 Thoughts?  

  EDIT: (Obviously I am talking America here.)

we don't really know, lets just wait a few weeks to see what happens. It's probably just a spike and not a long term thing, it might have a small long term effect.

we will see that in the next couple of weeks

I think Sony really blew it by putting out so few 80gb systems and that the boost would last a good deal longer if there were more available. As it is, I expect numbers to drop down to normal very quickly.

The 80gb deal is available indefinitely & was supply constrained, It will provide an extended boost due to the advantages it holds over the other bundles

IF Sony provide others ELITE 80gb bundle expect the PS3 to outsold the Xbox360 by +30k in NA alone for 2-4 weeks ...

The expected Xbox360 price cut will of course change the trend ...

Wait a few weeks to see whether there will be a long term boost, which there should be due to the introduction of the 80GB

@ Munkeh111
There can be no long term boost if the following requirements aren't met:

1) Sony dishes out more AAA games that people really want, thus creating a long term sales for the ps3

2)The 80GB sku is reinstated in the US for good. The OP showed us that these special edition bundles were more than 50% of overall US sales, which implies that it's much more in demand than the 40 GB sku.

3) Sony finally concedes to a price drop. 400$ is still a lot....although maybe not as much as it used to be, but still.

Apparently 80GB MGS$ bundle is permanent for the time being.....its just they are making morr of em as we speak n sending them out.

the funny thing is the games are selling the ps3 not the hardware itself
xbox360 exactly the same thing
wii visa versa
