ya no what really pisses me off, the media said the ps3 launch was a complete flop! but hang on, ps3 made the sales record! how can it flop but still be more successful,

in about this same time in america and japan the 360 when it launched in europe had sold 1.2 million, while the ps3 sold 1.5-1.9 million! yet ps3 the one not selling?

dont make me laff!

PlayStation 3 hardware sales plummet 82 per cent

so much for the uk. lol.

same story, but a lot more negative and aggressive. funny read.

one final note...if you think that it is becouse they all sold out, then you need to see this:

1 million ps3’s shipped to europe

“Units: 1 million, 60GB model only, with the 20GB model to follow later"

Also Sony only had 600,000 consoles at launch, not the 1,000,000 they said before.

We’ll find out when official data comes out, the prospect of the PS3 selling 500,000 consoles more then the Wii and 520,000 more then the 360 is really hard to believe. If it were 150,000 it’d be a lot more believable, however I might be wrong, but until official news comes from SCEE comes in, I’ll believe the original statement made by Chart Tracks.

Maybe, you notice something on that page you posted though?

The PlayStation 3 console has broken UK sales records with more than 165,000 machines sold in the first two days of release, say analysts Chart Track.

It says that under the headline on the page...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3#Sales

On 27 March 2007 it was reported on the BBC News website that the PlayStation 3 had broken United Kingdom sales records. It had sold more than 165,000 units in its first two days on the shelves, compared to 71,000 for the Xbox 360, and 105,000 for the Wii.[135] It is the second-fastest selling home console in Britain with a software attachment rate of 1.65;[136] however, British retailers claim that the PS3 was subjected to as many as 20,000 pre-order cancellations.[137] It has been reported that UK PS3 console sales for the following week are down 82%, with a 60% drop in sales of the two most popular titles, Motorstorm and Resistance.
