likely modern warfare 2, it was receiving a lot of fanfare and even though the older versions wer eon the system, maybe it plus price cuts were enough to convert new people.

Wow! This is an excellent point! If they can do what they did this week and only lose by 30k for the rest of the year, they will be really well set up for when they can start doing as you said to move systems. Then I may be able to switch to yelling "PS3 is DOOOMED!!!11!!", I like to change things up occasionally.

2 reasons, biggest being MW2 of course, the other being the fact that people got banned and are running out to buy a new Xbox mainly to play MW2.

I am starting to think that as long as they maintain a lead in Others and America, Microsoft could care less if the gap is completely closed on just Japanese sales.

who knows, but next week ps3's gonna pull way ahead according to the weekly analysis.

The others gap is almost gone...

Just checked others hardware, UK is the one to blame
360 almost outsold PS3 2:1 last week!
well done :)

The US is really the only important territory.  As long as MS keeps winning there, that is all that counts.  Others is way too fractured to have much of an impact. 

It's the UK, there are MW2 bundles here and they're being advertised.

there is a christmas value bundle, there is a forza 3 bundle, there is a call of duty modern warfare 2 bundle, its christmas, they have an arcade sku for $199.99 very attractive price, and the usually sell through :/ what more?
