This is not the sales boost you’re looking for.

Blerk: April was a 4 week month vs March which was a 5 week month. Sales were still down on a weekly basis for the PS3 and 360 though.

March
PS3: 51,400 / Week
360: 52,400 / Week

April
PS3: 46,750 / Week
360: 47,000 / Week

Looks like the negative media coverage might have had an impact, with ‘mommy’ not wanting ‘little Johnny’ to have one of the evil consoles.

Why’ve you got PS3 at 4 and 360 at 5? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

Anyway… what happened to the GTA hardware bump? Sales on both 360 and PS3 hardware were *down* by over 50,000 units!
