And then they'll realize it was only so big because Sony could so comfortably allot so many units for Europe, due to a hardware surplus in the rest of the world. Quote of the day. Right on. Europe gains where Japan and NA have failed Sony. Hopefully the launch goes well. Even if it doesn't sell out, IMO, it's not bad when you have nearly 1m units to launch with. Didn't the Wii only have 300k Europe-wide? UK is getting just that many alone. Good job Sony. Lets just pray they can either keep the momentum, or let my wonderful X360 increase sales with 'the Sony effect' (people realising the PS3 is too overpriced/not a major diff between the 360, therefore higher sales for the 360)

According to charts on front page: Japanese + american sales for Wii = 4.17 million* Japanese + american sales for PS3 = 2.13 million Puting these numbers into perspective for people. The PS3 supposedly is harder to build. People consider it to have no good games and the big wallop is that it is $600 dollars in comparison to $250. For a system that is almost 3 times as expensive and has no games I think the PS3 is doing quite well. It also doesn't seem to be recieving quite a stomping as people would like to make it seem (by adding european data to Wii sales) Seriously can people here really say the PS3 is not selling well? Have I asked that before? *Edit for correction - thanks Erik
