But most important double the weekly sales in Japan, 20k isn't good enough when the main competition sells 70k. Wow... that made no sense... :P Bad english? (I wouldn't be surprised I am a dyslectic) Well the question was: Where did you expect sales to be? Around 4 millions. Now where do see the main problem: weekly sales in Japan, which has been really bad after the holidays.

I read your edited one, computed it in my head. You expect sales of around 4million. And the main problem is weekly sales in japan wich have been horrible since the holidays. :P I didnt mean to be mean. :) (sometimes I post stuff that makes no sense and I have to clarify what i meant)

TheSource said: To me, its basically meeting my expectations. PS3 has some appeal in three markets. 360 has some in two market...account for Sony's stronger brand, and sales for Sony will be at European 360 levels in Japan. Once it is out in all three markets, I think most months will break down like this: PS3 70-130k Japan/month 200-250k Americas/month 150k-200k Europe/month 360 10-20k Japan/month 250-300k Americas/month 175-225k Europe/month Wii 320k-400k Japan/month 350k-500k Americas/month 200k-300k Europe/month Essentially, Sony could catch up to Microsoft in 3.5 years or so (at best) thanks to Japan if rates continued as they are (they won't) I figured Sony at 2.25 to 3.25 million PS3's sold by April 1, 2007 based on the rates provided above (assuming Europe got a shipment of 4 months for launch)
