To me, its basically meeting my expectations. PS3 has some appeal in three markets. 360 has some in two market...account for Sony's stronger brand, and sales for Sony will be at European 360 levels in Japan. Once it is out in all three markets, I think most months will break down like this: PS3 70-130k Japan/month 200-250k Americas/month 150k-200k Europe/month 360 10-20k Japan/month 250-300k Americas/month 175-225k Europe/month Wii 320k-400k Japan/month 350k-500k Americas/month 200k-300k Europe/month Essentially, Sony could catch up to Microsoft in 3.5 years or so (at best) thanks to Japan if rates continued as they are (they won't) I figured Sony at 2.25 to 3.25 million PS3's sold by April 1, 2007 based on the rates provided above (assuming Europe got a shipment of 4 months for launch)
