Well it's not selling bad by historical launch standards. The only way it could be spun as selling bad is by saying "hey, it's a Sony system so shouldn't it be selling better than that?" In the end unless anyone here has a crystal ball stop judging how the PS3 will ultimately do by its first few months. It's stupid. The PS2 had its peak selling month in Dec of 2002, over two years into it's lifespan. Maybe the PS3 won't be at it's peak for three years. Console cycles are marathons. Sony has a long term approach with the PS3. The Wii and 360 are certain to do better in the short term, but they're just less well built for success five years from now. I'm not calling the PS3 the future winner however as that would be equally as silly as calling it the loser.
