Meh its selling well, all platforms are, you have to look at the big picture, 100K isnt a small number, thats 100,000 people buying that certain video game console during that week.

100,000 in the grand scheme of things isn't exactly a lot, its meh. and Sony is well under that worldwide, which is pretty terrible.


Using them as an example, The ps3 sold 37000 this week in Americas

just counting the big stores...

5000 gamestop stores, 1400 best buys, 3800 wal marts, 1300 targets,

that's about 12000 stores that a lot of people buy their games from, of course there are way more than that, plus online retailers like amazon, and other store chains.

So assuming that these 4 store chains are the only place where people buy games,  you'd have trouble selling 3 PS3's over the course of a week.

Yes 100,000 sounds like a lot, but since the market is so huge it's rather insignificant.

I would say 360, PS3, and PSP are selling from terrible to meh. Wii is doing alright, but not great, DS is doing great.

 

Sony really needs a slim PS3 or a price drop for the holidays.
