All I know is that there is a high chance that the 4 mill lined up for europe will pretty much sell out. Initial shipments of most consoles sell out. That number might very well put the PS3 over the Wii in terms of worldwide sales. After this happens I wonder if people will continue to say the PS3 is doing horrible.
4 million?
Last I heard Britian (UK) had secured 220,000 units and then asked Sony to bump it up to 300k, which they did. Historically UK is 1/4 of Europe in terms of sales. So likely that brings the total to 1.2 million available for Launch.
Yes, they are selling out. PS3 has taken 15 times as many pre-orders as Wii did. Will it go over the Wii numbers for both systems? No. Unfortunately by the end of March we are likely only looking at 4 million consoles world wide (actually sold).
