PS3 Sales in Uk down 82% week 2....

[albionus]

30k for week 2 isn't bad unless week 3 sees another 80% drop or something like that.  It would seem the UK's yearly average PS2 purchasing was 40k a week initially and fell to 20k last year.  So if it stays at 30k it's no big deal for Sony.  We'll have to wait and see what happens week 3, & 4, & 5, &...,.  As someone who doesn't much care for Sony or the PS3 I suppose I should mention the dark lining in the cloud would be that week 2 matches the sharp drop off seen elsewhere after launch (even if it's for entirely predictable reasons).  So the PS3 is being true to form in the 2 weeks we have thus far.
