stimultaneous $100 price cuts AND a new model? Jeesh if they can't outsell the Wii this week, how can they ever plan to do so in the future.

mhm 70k? Also only 100k next week? Mhm..

At my local gamestop i saw a few PS3 slims and 1 phat 160gb uncharted bundle.

LOL dunno why you even mention Wii here, your post is the first to even mention the system

This is one of the most frustrating threads I have read in some time.
If everyone wants to pretend that the PS3 slim already launched for these numbers being reported, thats fine.
You can think what you want.
but the fact still remains;
The PS3 Fucking launched to-fucking-day, Tuesday September 1st.

That's the same thing I was thinking... Besides, if Wii sells almost exactly than it did last week it would prove it is selling to a completely new market who doesn't care about what the HDtwins are doing...

Just an fyi, seems that most of the retailers leaked early once they found out a few were. They didnt want to be left out. Im not sure how much more of an increase the sales will be next week. Time will tell

Terrible numbers, I expected 86% increase.

@Axumblade

You are right, many stores did have them at some point last week.

What I wonder though, since nobody had the thing advertised until now, could that have held back sales at all?

Good number before PS3 Slim release week (numbers of the next week).
