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


For a playstation branded product, it is doing quite pathetic. For a $600 dollar system, it wasn't doing so hot either (3 months in a row of sub-100k on NPD). As of late, for a heavily bundled system (EU/AU) and offered at a discount price (US/JP), it is selling at a decent pace.
