Of course it's not gonna sell great after launch. The fanboys that had the cash got it, and now the people that casually want it are going to buy it. 17k isn't too bad, provided it doesn't drop much more. 15-19k a week (similar to Japan) should be pretty good and typical. At a 2.5x rate, that'd be around 52.5k a week in Europe..Slightly higher than it is in the US (42.5k a week) and far above Japan (17.5k a week). So the PS3 is moving around 110k units a week, or 440k a month (give or take) vs. 1m-ish for the Wii and 500k-ish for the 360. Not bad for a $600/40k yen/399pd/Euro system. |
It may not be bad for an expensive system, but it is bad for a system in general and may get even worse.
