Looks like the 200k number may be shipped units, not consumer sales.

According to the google translations it says shipped. Perhaps someone who reads Japanese can translate better than google.

　PLAYSTATION 3については、「世界的に好調な販売実績を維持している。米国では週あたり20万台を出荷し、欧州でも同様に週20万台を出荷。日本ではやや少ないもの の、週5～6万台のレベルで推移している。とくに、40GBモデルを導入してから、販売が大幅に伸びており、米国では前年同期比300%の伸びとなってい る」とした。

That's the quote in question. It clearly states that US and Europe are both getting 200,000 units 出荷 (shipped) every week. This word is "shu-ka", whereas the word for sales would either be "uri-age" or "hanbai". Just to clarify, it's not an ambiguous statement. He says shipped, only shipped, and not sales.
