I was gonna originally say this and note that "under 100k is d0med" was just a talking point from Xbox fans to undermine PS3. PS3 would sell about 93k a week (at one point) and 360 would be at like 120-125k. 93k is close to 100k, but 93k<100k so...."OMG IT's GONNA FAIL". But then PS fans would defend that and say that wasn't a bad number and it was close to 100k.
Fact is, it wasn't a great number, and 85k is worse than that. If PS3 kept selling 93k a week (or lower, at 85k), it wouldn't have sold anywhere near 81M consoles. It was 130-150k a week that was "beasting". We make fun of MS for "pulling a 180" but Xbox fans have done it along with them.
