I'm not really seeing a lot of terrible news with these numbers. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it's March. Console sales typically slow down this time of year and into the summer. While some fans have said 'this game will change everything' for their favorite system, I haven't been one of those people.
I think some have gotten too used to the amazing sales of the Nintendo DS and think that's the norm. It's not. The DS is in a league of its own right now and I think it's going to be there all year. Everything else will look terrible in comparison.
What I think we can conclude from these numbers is that the transition from the PS2/Xbox/GC generation is going to take a lot longer than some people want it to. And that plays strongly in Sony's favor since the PS2 is the only really active console of that bunch. And when people buy a PS2, they're probably not buying another system in the near term. This also hints that Nintendo may have been right about last generation's graphics being good enough for most users. But it is kind of sad that the PS3 had its ass handed to it by the GBA. Guess people aren't willing to get a second job to buy a PS3 after all. 
And I'm not too surpirsed by the PS3 versus Wii Godfather sales. Godfather is a game for gamers, not the majority of current Wii users. Hopefully that will change as the Wii user base expands.
Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.
