Sony badly needs a price cut.

I think it's more important for Sony to keep PS3 in stock.

It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Kinda not surprised with Sony beating in europe since Football (soccer to the rest of the world) is BIG here especially since fifa 08 and PES 9 are doing really well on ps3.

I wonder if psp 3000 sales will be this significant starting next week.. Already reports from people are complaining about screen issues

Ah! fuck! late! :P

Anyway... what was supposed to happen in Others - did. And it's the PS3 back in the lead. DS and Wii doing great as usual... PSP's not bad.

As for Japan, you can see the PS3 numbers go down because of two reasons: A season in which Japan doesn't sell much HW (PSP's nice though), and the foreboding for the release of the PS3 80 GB is Japan - which screwed up its sales pretty much like the price drop announcment by MS, the latest one, which dropped the 360 to 1k on that week, only to shoot for the stars with 30k in the next. Expect something similar with the PS3.

In Japan, I'd say that's an understatement. =)

Very true. I won't say that all of a sudden, the PS3 is gonna sell like what the PSP just pulled, but I expect its numbers to rise significantly when this hits stores.

OT: 360 is dropping off in Japan, hopefully it'll keep some higher numbers than it had before the price cut. Wii and DS doing great in Others and very well in Japan as usual. The price cut for the 360 didn't have as long of an effect as MS would have liked, I'm sure, and the PSP keeps on moving in Others. I'd say a fairly typical week, PSP Japan excepted.
