The videogame market (generally speaking) is a market with front loaded sales ...
After the release of most major games, when a system is released, or when a system has a price reduction there is (typically) a decent number of people who rush out to get the product as early as possible. Now some games, usually first party (in particular Nintendo games), can stay on the charts for years and rack up huge sales over time but this isn't common.
With the PS3's sales only being up slightly after 2 days with the $400 40GB model on the market is not a good sign. This (essentially) means that people do not see it as being a noticeably better deal than the existing PS3 systems and are thus not rushing out to buy it.
