Are the PS3's numbers in America right, I don't think I've seen the PS3 sell this poorly in anyone single week in like... forever.

There are huge PS3 shortages due to Sony taking out _____ SKU and replacing it with another.

There are plenty where I live.

I love that one.

I personally don't care about the numbers right now, because the most important numbers are during the holidays when sales go over NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean... sales will peak at its highest and reaches maximum potential. 20 million at most once the year is over. anything over that is just tooo much for me to handle lol. but i will be happy if it passes my expectations.

Please create a thread when PS3 reaches 15 million consoles sales. A thread like this is technically spam. The mods are nice on here so they will allow it. Anyway the other two consoles notched up milestones (30 million and 20 million) no need to leave the PS3 out in the cold.

Good lord...People are crazy when attacking Neos.

Playstation 1:
December 3rd, 1994 (JP)
September 9th, 1995 (US)
September 29th, 1995 (EU)

Total time to launch between 1st and last major territory: 20.5mo

Playstation 2:
March 4th, 2000 (JP)
October 26th, 2000 (US)
November 24th, 2000 (EU)

Total time to launch between 1st and last major territory: 16mo

Playstation 3:
November 11th, 2007 (JP)
November 17th, 2007 (US)
March 26th, 2008 (EU)

Total time to launch between 1st and last major territory: 4.5mo

So even if the PS3 didn't "launch worldwide at the same time", it still launched VASTLY closer to a worldwide launch than the PS1 did, or the PS2. And since VGC doesn't take that into consideration, we should. Why not compare sales patterns of the PS1/2 at their given time periods (10mo and 8mo after launch) against the PS3's at 4.5mo in to see where real sales lie?
