me,rodd todd and adam are disscussing this in the PS3 rrp forum.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that the hardware sales will drop again this week. Last week was the week after launch, which is only two days remember, and had Easter coming up. This week is probably too late to buy for Easter, the launch "hump" is over and there aren't any new games for the PS3 until mid April.

The fact that week two sales were just short of 30K instead of just above zero proves that there is still demand and that there is still stock to service that demand. I'd expect week three sales to drop to 15-20K which is probably closer to a "normal" weeks sales.

As for software, Resistance and Motorstorm were still top-selling, only a new, highly anticipated PC game knocked them from the top of the charts. They are massively out-selling everything except C&C. Not bad for platform exclusives.

It's not doom and gloom for the PS3, it's something we have never seen before, a platform launch that has loads of interest, but hasn't sold out.

The question we have for Sony is "can you keep the momentum going?"

Its best to give it some time, at least til the end of next month. If things hit the fan for Sony, that just means the price drop will come sooner.

What's that? WH Smiths are doing what? Already?

Wow a special offer from a couple of retailers! Not the same as Microsoft dropping the original XBox's official price after six weeks.

I think that once the price gets low enough, sales will increase, or if it is a steady drop in price, sales will stay quite high for a long time, after dropping.
