I have a bone to pick with one of Sony's comments in the report but I did not want to muddle the article submission. This sentence in particular:
"Sony said it had been selling between 30,000 and 40,000 consoles per week before the Oct. 18 price cut."
In the September NPD period, the PS3 sold 119k units in a 5-week period, or 24k per week. I find it hard to believe that the weekly sales would increase prior to an announced price cut. If anything, the sales should actually decrease. This makes me seriously question the veracity of their figures.
I would hazard a guess of 20k PS3s sold weekly for 3 weeks plus the 75k they reportedly sold due to the price cut on the last week of the October NPD period. A possible 135k (13.5 DKP) for the PS3 this Friday, then?
