It's no halo boost, two pricecuts, still have an effect.

@Hryuken. You should have compared last week to this week to see the boost (As the comparison you did only makes PS3 look worse, it makes 360 look better). This time last year we were A) Not in a recession and B) 360 didn't have the price advantage it does now. The fact that that PS3 is even up yoy is great, despite not getting a Price cut and despite being in a recession .

Last years price drop caused a random 25% increase in February?

Halo boost, effect, is gonna happen next week, sales, are as high as their are because Street Figher 4 week, most likely.

You'd be quite right if you weren't neglecting two important factors.

1. Last year PS3 was coming off from a $100 price drop the same way 360 is now. It would be extremely unusual if PS3 wasn't lower year over year not taking any major releases into account.

2. There is absolutely no evidence that Killzone 2 (or Halo Wars for that matter) have anything to do with this surge whatsoever. Logically, console sales should be slightly down due to customers waiting to pick up a Killzone 2 bundle next week. Furthermore, take a look at the games that were released in Europe last week.

That's a very respectable list of games for both consoles compared to what either has been getting in Europe for the past two months.

Good numbers all around.

Strong sales all around, except for mediocre PSP sales.

Good week for PS3 considering its price.
