With such Others and Japan figures it looks like PS3 could be under 100k WW for the first time in a long period, and with XB360 and PSP quite low too and Wii nothing special for its usual standard, the next weeks could be the most sluggish since many years. Not good for the gaming market. As last charted sales are for last week, is it maybe that the sad news about Duke Nukem dying so young left all gamers around the world too depressed to go around shopping?

Edit:

PSP quite decent in Japan, but not in Others, if its American sales aren't at least good it will be not a bad week for it, but by no means good.

Yeah...since last week

98k? Didn't VGC report a little bit over 100k until early yesterday?

Then, one more week under that psychological threshold, and XB360 lead reduced from 11k previously charted to 8.5k...
