Is the PS3 selling badly? Why do you think it is/isn't?

The PS3 has been a huge success. When you match up their launch dates, world sales of the PS3 almost precisely match the first year of the 360. That's amazing when you consider the PS3's 599 EUR/$599 price tag, a whopping $200 more than the 360. (The first 12 months of a console is when you lose the most money, so you don't want to sell more than 6-8 million anyway, enough to create a decent install base.) I didn't think more than 3.25 million PS3s would sell by September, since summer is usually the Dead Zone, but the beast roared past the 4.3 million mark by mid-August without breaking a sweat.

Decent software, cheaper HDTVs and a price drop in the EU and Japan sometime this fall (also the 80GB model should drop to $499, once the 60GB units run out) should boost sales further. Once the price drops to $399 sometime next year, sales will go bonkers.

if they drop to that, also yes it may be a little better not to sale that many first year, but right now sony is losing

 exclusives-theyve lost alot, and dont tell me that if playstation 3 fanbase was double what it is now that these would still likely to happen

seriously if it was a huge success then why are we reading alot of articles on how ps3 is not doing good? i guess alot of analysts are wrong?
