Japan preview: "Expect PS3 hardware sales to fall slightly, into the 48,000 to 58,000 unit range as the Tales bump is essentially offset by the drop-off in initial PS3 slim demand."

So what does that make the sales bump that is attributable to Tales... what bump would have been expected from Tales? 20k? 30k? Just trying to get a handle on where PS3Slim sales have dropped to?

If 20k bump then 28k to 38k? If 30k bump then 18k to 28k ?

If further releases support sales until Xmas season starts, we'll never know. The same applies to Wii and XB360, every agenda is getting so thick it's likely we won't have a "back to normality phase" before Xmas.

Well, let's see how this works.........

Let's say.....Japan = 50,000 for PS3 right?
What would America and Others have to be to make my original prediction of 215,000 for Week 3:

Example:
America - at least - 90,000
Others - at least - 75,000

I think PS3 is going to do WAY more than 215,000, there's no way Others would be lower than America. Even if we switched those regions, that's STILL too low, particularly in Others...

I think your numbers for Others / Americas should be switched.

Well, that prediction was for shits-and-giggles. Just to see how my prediction could work mathematically...

Even so, with the numbers switched, it's actually pretty reasonable. 25% drop in Americas and a 35% drop in Others.

I think it's safe to say Japan would have dropped ~30% if Tales of Vesperia didn't launch.

I would not be the least bit surprised if final numbers came in as

Americas: 72k

Others: 95k

Japan: 48k

Total: 214k

I think NA may dip much more though.

It looks like the OP was right. And also many of us. Now we have to wait another 6 days to know about the current week, ending today, just before Wii's cut. It could be the fourth and last in a row with PS3 outselling Wii.
