PS3 Hiting 8 Mil Before 08'?

Absolutely, and this week generally is even better for sales then black friday week. :) We'll have the PS3 at 8 million before the end of the year. I really don't see sales dropping in the coming weeks while the holiday season is in full force. I wouldn't be shocked if some decide to not get a wii due to the difficulty in getting one at a store and getting a PS3 since they are familiar with the Playstation brand name and that there is stock in stores.

 There will definitely be some people who avoid getting a Wii because of the rush, but I think the number of them that get a PS3 instead are going to be fairly small. The problem here is just how different the consoles are in terms of image right now.  But more than that I think for former Wii shoppers the price is going to be a very big deterent.    Again, I think there will be some people who do this, but the number who do is going to be insignificantly small on the scale of holiday sales. Small enough that it isn't a factor.
