Fixed.
I'm interested in sales, because consoles sales need to consistently achieve the level of sustainability in order for the game support to continue. On that score I am pretty happy with WW sales of the PS3, knowing that PS3 is in a bit of a holding pattern right now: it's achieved decent LTD sales to a level where development support is pretty stable, it has turned the corner of hardware profit on each console sold, it is selling sufficient numbers to continue to drive down the cost of production, there are still many millions of people who have not jumped in to the next gen of consoles, the economic hard times will turn around, PS3 will eventually decrease in price and sales will increase and stabilise at a higher level than current. All of these things are independant of what the Wii and 360 are doing currently. So in absolute sales terms I'm fine with where PS3 sales are right now.
I'm also more interested in sales right now, because I haven't jumped in to this generation yet (crossing fingers for that PS3 price drop before my birthday). I guess as soon as I get Valkyria Chronicles, Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank as my first wave of games my interest in sales will diminish considerably.
