An old roman saying, the Emperor had a man assigned to telling him this in parades after a victory so he wouldn't think he was an immortal diety.

Common knowledge, no?

... following Black Friday:

"Stringer today said the company sells about 200,000 PlayStation 3 consoles in Europe each week, and 40,000 to 50,000 in Japan. It also sold more than 200,000 in the U.S. following ``Black Friday,'' the day after Thanksgiving."

Anyway promising figures, even if just newly sold units to retail.


Very promising.

People are underestimating the PS3 right now I think.  Too bad for them.

One thing about all those figures -- they appear to all be behind other consoles systems. So while it might be good to see the increase, the market position is not necessarily improving. (Those numbers make the PS3 third in US, second in Others and second in Japan).

 Right now? How about always and from the beginning. It wasn't even a week old before the "OMG PS3 FLOPS" threads littered the web.

I'm glad it's improving, it seems I'm not too far off in my peronal beliefs after all about all three systems. Can't wait until next year.

I always look for vague meaning or possible double speak in Sony PR, and I do seem some possible misinterpretations here. 

See how it says they sell 200k systems a WEEK in Europe? I do, and that's precise and not ambiguous in the slightest. Then, see how it sells they sold 200k systems in the US, but gives no precise time frame? I doubt that's an oversight, but we'll see. Given Sony's history with these remarks, it's quite possible that they wanted to imply they were selling 200k a week in the US, and give that impression, without it actually being the case and without actually lying. In any case, it means Ioi is right on the money with European PS3 figures.

Off topic. By quoting your little sister in your sig, it would appear you HAVE entered your own pitfall and contradicted yourself

I guess you're right.  It's really sad to see such a great console get slammed everywhere mostly because of a large pricetag.

I've definitely enjoyed this year game-wise, and I'm really looking forward to next year as I see it only getting better.  I don't believe the "XYZ exclusive is going to turn it around" stuff, but I do believe that a great library which it is steadily growing will.

I think it'll get at LEAST 10 million by end of march



leo-j on 11 December 2007

I think by the end of march they will have 11M WW. And shipped around 13M not 14.6.

Also if that article is correct the ps3 is at 6.98M
