It was to have expired on the 6th of October...I suspect it will be back for the Holiday shopping season.

So PS3 sales stabilized at 200k+ mark?
Well, i hoped it would do 250k+, but even 200k+ per week is around 1 mln. per month. Very good.
Next week Uncharted 2, we could see some boost in sales. But that we will know only after 2 weeks.

And Wii, looks like it`s glorious days are over for now, atleast till Christmas. Than we will see, how 50$ pricecut or actually 199$ price will work.

$199 is considered a console's sweet spot, every console this gen except the PS3 has hit that sweet spot, so WII should see MOST of its sales from that $199 price (or lower), and the 360 should also see most of its sales from that $199 price (or lower).

So far, in terms of sales, i see that both x360 and PS3 changed their places compared to last year.
http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=------&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&start=39635&end=40090

In 2008 main x360 model, x360 pro reached 299$ price point, while PS3 just moved from 40GB to 80GB.
This year, main PS3 model reached 299$ price, while x360 model moved from 60GB to 120GB.

Sales so far are pretty much same, but i think PS3 will perform better than x360 last year(it already does, because of Slim model). Maybe x360 also will do a little bit better than PS3 last year too, but i`m not sure.
However, 199$ costing Wii could be a problem for both HD consoles in West during Christmas. In Japan, price for Wii was never a problem.
