Anyways, do you have a source for your numbers? I remember seeing every PS3 fan claiming that 400,000 PS3s were sold on launch day in North America and later we found out that Sony only shipped 200,000 ...
but this time we had no shipment issues. vgcharts itself is claiming around 500k to have been sold on the launch day...By the end of this week i expect to see something around a million.
