Why worry? Ps3 is on track! 4 mil in what 7months is not that bad. Only thing that makes the sales look bad is the phenomenal sales of the Wii. Other than that, I'd say the PS3 is doing well. Not to mention as every fan boy states (yes it will happen) the games are coming and they will sell the ps3.

Btw, I rented my Blue Ray Movie from Blockbuster (Australia) GAME ON!!!

4 million in 8.5 months. Spreading that over the average console life of 5 years gets you 28.23 million consoles. Those are GCN numbers. They have every reason to be concerned.

 Add on the fact that games apparently cost more to develop for HD systems, which means you need to sell more copies to make your money back. If 3rd parties weren't interested in a console that sold between 20-30 million, for a console that has development costs 2x that of previous gen, you need a lot more consoles out there (or at least a much higher attach rate).
