I knew it would be over 40K!

TheSource said 26K - 30K I think.

I don't think Torne was properly accounted for... it sold 15.5k bundles actually, while Y4 didn't push hardware at all. :/

How many Torne bundles are there in total?

Personally I don't think Torne will any long term effect on PS3 sales. Yes it's selling extremely in its frist week but 60K units is not a lot. Unless it can consistently sell 60K every week, it would not move significant PS3s moving forward.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Well you never can tell. All 15.5K Torne bundle buyers may also have bought Y4 at the same time (not likely but chances are some of them did). Who's to say whether it was Torne or Y4 that was the primary motive for buying? And Torne bundle doesn't account for 100% of the boost over the previous week.
