Correct. This was made with no 'game releases' thought in!... However: I think Madden will boost PS3 with like 20%... Since it's multiplatform.

And Lair: ~40% first week if/when it gets good reviews... And: It's still a new IP.

I'm gonna say 50k sales. It'll probably settle at around 25k on weeks with no releases/big announcements.

Oh, and for the brief period when the 80gb and the 60gb coincide I expect sales to be around 10k larger than normal.

i say 45k then down to 40k then stay at about 30k until Madden and Lair which puts sales up to 60k maybe even 70k then they fall to 50-60k then 45k then stay around 30k again until another game then Christmas sales go up to about 150k-200k in Novmember then christmas when the sales go crazy and it nearing 1milion in NA for Christmas.

mitsuhide - What? You expect 1 million sales per week in December in the US alone??? Somehow, I doubt that.

Not per week lol that is a dream not even Nintendo can reach over the whole of december i mean. December plus November maybe around 2million that is being very optimistic but it isnt immpossible if Sony play their cards right.

I think a 20% increase for this week and 10% for next week and then no change. All three consoles will remain pretty constant until November.

Im going to put on my prediction league "40k". However, I wouldn't be suprised that it'll hit 50, or even 60k. Price drops, in the beginning, spike sales. Just like a spike though, they always drop severely the next week.

The biggest, and best question is, once 60gb supplies are sold out, and consoles go back to 80gb + game for $600, will sales increase at all?

Either way, sales should be in the 25-35k area for awhile until supplies are gone.

It *should* outsell the 360 for this week, unless X360s get a E3 boost.
The big question is how close PS3 h/w gets to the X360 for NPD July. It could be within 25,000 systems. At that time, I wonder what MS and Sony will say?

"consoles go back to 80gb + game for $600, will sales increase at all?"

==> except if sony announce another price drop just after all the 60gb are sold out

"It *should* outsell the 360 for this week, unless X360s get a E3 boost."

==> If someone can expect an E3 boost, it is Sony or Nintendo, not Microsoft.
Even more, since potential Xbox360 owners are waiting to get a price drop in fews weeks (days ?), Xbox360 sales should not increase.

360 sales have been stagnateing since Christmas not going up and going down ever so slightly and i dont think software is the problem........... Red Ring ofDeath is knocking at MS door.

32k is my prediction and then next week it will drop back into the 20's
