To be honest, I'm surprised that console sales aren't higher. Look around your house and count how many devices you have that can play cds. 10 sounds about right?
Now say there's 80 million households in America, that's 800 million cd players in the one country.
500 000 a week seem less impressive now.
Oh, and home entertainment product sell best during recessions and depressions, besides, if you're a bit short of money, would you rather pay $20 for a movie that you'll watch twice, say 4 hours total or $50 for a game that can provide you with at least 50 hours of entertainment, more if it's a great game.
