Well a 10th of 2008 has passed. 40 million Wiis in 2008 is still looking like a fairly ridiuclous statement. The numbers are pretty interesting though. In America Sonys situation looks as bleak as ever, the PS2 is STILL outselling the PS3, although if you add up the 2 systems the playstation is easily outselling the Wii right now. Unbelievably the PS2 has outsold the 360 worldwide so far in 2008, but its close both consoles averaging around 100k a week so far.

 LOL.  PS3 is doing very respectably vs. 360, and it's supposed to be a BAD thing that Sony is making shitloads of extra money by selling PS2s at a very high profit margin?  Ok....

 You know, one thing is Sony's favor is that "unbelievably the PS2 has outsold the 360 worldwide so far in 2008."

 And, hasn't the PS3, too?

 Yep, Sony's situation is as "bleak as ever."  ...

Dont get me wrong, the PS3 is doing ok, as is the 360, in fact all 3 systems are doing sustainable numbers. But the PS3 is still fighting for second at best & its going to take a year at the current rate for the PS3 to even catch the 360. THAT IS a pretty bleak situation for the last generations clear winner to be in is it not? I would agree though on the whole Sony is still doing very well and still continue to sell a lot more playstations than Nintendo are Wiis. How it will work in the mid/long term though, Sony having 2 consoles selling fairly equally well, is another thing entirely.
