It's not completely awful. Slightly disappointing, but as we head into the summer, sales are going to slow down. The PS3 should be able to outsell the 360 by 40-50k though (everything depends on availability of the bundle, and how many people were willing to wait in the NA).



Is it so strange that MGS fans would be more likely to already own a PS3. That makes a lot of sense to me.



No one is trying to spin this, however, I know Sony themselves are having one hell of a reality check at the moment. If the 80gb bundle is really the reason you aren't seeing sales, you can bet there is an 80 gb bundle coming within the week.

What's strange?

People have been telling you for months that "System Selling" games did not work in the way you thought that they did ...

These games tend to have just as much of an impact leading up to the release of a big game as they do after, so the don't have a noticeable boost in sales except for the week of release. It is quite plausable that (over the next month or so) sales of the PS3 could drop to new lows because of the lack of highly anticipated established series on the horizon, and the summer slump.
