The PS3 Slim has been out in Americas for a few days now. I was wondering if/when we can expect first day numbers?

slim didn't have a release date, but slow shipment all over each week.
from september sales should slowly grow.
oct-nov-december we will know.

It's not officially out right? Stores just don't care about the official release date.

It was stated by kaz that the official release date would be the 1st of september...right?

a couple billion give or take a hundred million or so

Well, I believe what Kaz meant was that at the latest it would be out by Sept 1st. Both the guy at Game Crazy and the guy at EB Games told me they had the okay from Sony to start selling the slim a couple days ago.

I thought it came out the 1st.....when i was in game stop i few people were asking for it and they always said it was the 1st.

8Million in Japan alone.

I tought the release date in sep 1 WW......

its been selling ILLEGALLY for four days in the US.

It's pretty hard to guess since we don't have any clue to how many Sony shipped out.
