all I've seen Gabriel post is anti PS3 stuff
artificially setting high expectations is the oldest trick in the book to make XX console look bad when it doesn't go that high
@CGI
I'm sure you knew that, but some people wouldn't my post was for them rofl
160k Others
100k America
100k Japan - Japanese sales historically go berserk (relatively) when smaller form factors are introduced.
360k total.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Taking my time to think about it i don't think it is going to be as high as a lot of you are saying.
Reason for this is simple. Basically here in the UK at least the PS3 was selling for about £279 in shops, that was in some cases with games etc (Gamestation did a choose any new game deal etc).
So the price cut is only really £30. Now that is a lot better then no price cut but i can't see people rushing out and paying £249 in droves. It is still a lot of money at the end of the day and the people who really wanted one would have already got one because that £30 difference is less then a new game.
So i expect the first week sales to be at least an 100% increase such as the trend has been with previous cuts. So i will say 250k worldwide for 1st week. Then once we get to holidays it will go on to sell very well, especially if GOW3 and GT5 are released.
Saw some Jap pics on Gaf regarding the Slim launch. The posts suggest minor disappointment and predictions for the week are in the 70k range.
Now ioi alos posted a 85% boost for last week (though limited release) in the US amounting to 70k with an expected further boost for the actual realease week reaching 100k.
No news regarding "Others" release. All in all, it seems most predictions were on the high side (mine included) though the US release is like LBP's release and hard to figure what a simultaneous release date at all retailers would have looked like (I'd guess something like 120-140k).
