It sold less than 150k in the US in 6 months. That means little. VGChartz places the first nine months at 215k, which would suggest just 5000 a week on average over the holiday period. Does this honestly sound unreasonable to you?
Now add on European data - that's another 120k in the first nine months. Concluding that it only sold the numbers it sold because of a "fire sale" is the equivalent of concluding that the only reason the PS2 managed to sell so well was people buying multiple units because they kept breaking, or claiming that Xbox 360 sales were inflated due to people buying new systems when their older ones RRoD'd. While there might be a kernel of truth (lower price sold more copies), the overall claim is ludicrously false.
