Here's a chart showing the effect the PS3 price drop had on weekly sales worldwide:

Too early to tell. Looks like they are headed towards a spike.

Their site's hardware charts haven't worked for me in a while.

I've had a lot of trouble too. They don't have a lot of bandwidth, I think, so whether or not a particular query will work is on par with playing a slot machine.

maybe if you weren't so addicted to the site, they'd have enough bandwidth for the rest of us!

I'm surprised that the PS3 and 360 are neck to neck. I thought the PS3 was lagging behind.

Neck and neck? Maybe monthly, but the PS3 lags behind the 360 by about 6.5 million. Everyone assumed 10 million would be essentially be hit overnight with the launch of the PS3 on the name alone. That hasn't been the case.

If you're talking about my first chart they are neck and neck worldwide if you align the launches. The PS3 launched a year later, so it still has a lot of catching up to do.

In Japan, the PS3 is already ahead of Xbox360. But in North America, it's a bit farther behind.
