Also in the 22M are DS and PSP -- but you have to go back to the original source (MCV) rather than the Tech Digest piece. It is 10M consoles and 12M handhelds.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I think you're all missing the point of this article. They called Pachter a famed self-promoting "industry analyst"...

"PS3 dead last"..

Shut the hell up with this crap already, seriously. You make it sound like theres 15 consoles out. We all knew it was in last..theres no need to make it sound that drastic.

This entire thread, for that reason alone, is trolling. The trolling on this forum is getting so stupidly rediculous I'm beginning to get bored of coming here. It's just like RAZ in that other thread about Guerilla Games getting more out of the PS3 in the future..

And the mods do nothing about it.

How can you criticise sony's sales in the UK, isn't it selling at a stronger rate overall than the 360? Lookin at hardware from launch the Ps3 is doing alot better.

Considering your average Joe prolly bought 360 this xmas (99 pound deals I found) ,and PS3 best deal I saw were 269 pound, 400,000 extra isnt spectacular. Props to Wii tho.

The PS3 went from neck and neck (sept 2007 - sept 2008 360/PS3 each sold ~1M) to outsold almost 2-1 after the 360 had it's price drop in the UK.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
