Im sure a few people freaked out on both sides.

PS3 fanboy: OMG I must go buy another system RIGHT NOW!

PS3 Future Buyer: OMG Y2K is going to get me if I buy a PS3, Ill wait till they fix it.

It probably all evened out in the end.

I think that error would have zero effect on console sales. I say 90k+ because Heavy Rain was an anticipated game and it's getting some mainstream press.

The bug worked itself out in a day. There's not going to be any effect here, it really would've taken several days or a week even of bugged units before you'd start seeing PS3 owners going out and replacing their units.

And as far as prospective PS3 buyers, it was a nonissue anyway since slims weren't affected.
