im really proud for my ps3,its doing great there

Thanks for that, lombard. I updated the original post.

I'm hesitant to see how the PS3/MGS4 did this week after the Japanese preview.

I don't think it dropped that much, but it's obvious it will be a big drop.

Lol , even Portable Ops + got a boost from the MGS4 hype :P

I notice that doesn't include hardware bundles, whereas Enterbrain & Media Create do. I would expect the vast majority of hardware sales this week will be the MGS4 bundle, so that could add another 30k or so. The Japanese preview is based on a pretty small sample so isn't always accurate, but can sometimes be a good indicator.

I was expecting 100k, but going by the JP preview I'm now expecting 70k.

also remember that MC seperates Diamond and Pearl. It would really be in the top 20 if VGC tracked it the same as MC does.
