360-ps3 gap back to 8 million (even if it only lasts for a few days). start the party!

The thing is though in the next few days i would expect the PS3 numbers to be adjusted back down as the NPD numbers come out. I said at the time the numbers for the PS3 have to be wrong as they do not follow the 25% week to week drop every other format has had, it has dropped just 6%. The interesting thing is all the analysts this week came out with their numbers which are also in line with the 25% drop. So if that is true and the NPD shows that the 6% PS3 drop is actually the same 25% as all the others will mean we could be looking at a 50k-100k adjustment down for the PS3 for the 4 weeks of January. If that does turn out to be the case then i think we would have to assume the first week of februarys numbers would need adjusting to reflect that drop. Will be very interesting to see because it will mean the 8m gap was passed last year and in the first 4 weeks of 2009 their could already be a 200k gap.
