European Users: How well is PS3 selling in Europe?

[shams]

This is going to be really interesting - possibly even critical to this generation. I have been assuming that Europe will "close to" sell out - or at least sell 700-800k units in the next week or so. This is what Sony needs to do to pretty much "survive". But... if somehow this doesn't happen - and they sell... say 250k - what does this do? You might see big publishers rethinking their strategy already - or just delaying PS3 titles for another 6-12 months until the sales build (i.e. like what happened with the PSP). It means that instead of being 3mill vrs 10mill (to the 360), its closer to 2.5mill / 10mill. Makes the chance of catching up all the less likely. It also hurts BluRay (although it will no doubt get a boost from the launch in general). We'll find out in about a week...
