We will see what happens in a couple of weeks, but I suspect that the demand for the 80GB unit couldn't account for more than (about) 20,000 units which will diminish over time (as everyone who cares about Metal Gear Solid owns a PS3). Certainly, there will be a decent boost the next time they're available because of the build up of people waiting, but this boost will still not be that amazing.

You do know that the 70,000 80GB bundles sold out in one day don't you? The demand is way more than 20,000 units.

Btw, the Wii is gaining more marketshare! Currently at 45.9%.

Gotta love the folks who still think 50% won't happen, even though Nintendo didn't even increase production yet.

Yeah, in 2008, Wii has sold 8.9M, Ps3 4.8M and X360 3.6M, so Wii has had 55% market share so far.

true, BUT!

If you flip 4.8 to 8.4 and 3.6 to 6.3. Then the Wii's marketshare is only 37.7 %

If the 80GB can really have this big of an impact, I would move that thing into Others pronto.

The deciding factor for most people in purchasing the bundle isn't MGS4.

It's BC....... A huge majority of the people buying a PS3 at this point were PS2 owners ( I really don't think there are that many people that were hardcore enough to have a GC or an Xbox last gen that are buying a PS3 at this time..)

PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Yea sure Im going to wait for NPD.

Seriously??? Even after NPD proclaimed doom for HD consoles after GTA there are still fanboys who want to believe VGC has a Wii bias and NPD will be your savior?

Now when did I ever any of that?

Just because they sold that many units on the launch day of a bundle, which happens to be the same day as the release of the biggest exclusive game for the PS3 to date (which was bundled with the console) doesn't mean that there is a sustained demand for the consoles at that rate.

I'd do more than that. I'd discontinue the 40 gig and replace it with the 80 gig at the same price. That way they def. wont lose sales so it can't get any worse and it would most likely raise sales.
