Yes, we will have to see if this increase is just due to the Hot Shots Golf 5 or whether PS3 sales are actually finally picking up, as you said it will probably take around a month to determine. I think that while the sales will probably go down after Hot Shots Golf 5 runs its course, I think that sales of the PS3 will continue at a higher levels than before Hot Shots Golf 5.[ Oracle ] [ Level 23 ] [ Rank: 8 ]bids

I think it's pretty obvious it's entirely due to that game. The week before, the PS3 barely had one title crack the top 50, then this week Hot Shots Golf was #2.
I would bet that sales will drop down quite quickly again unless that game can stay in the top 5 for a while.
