Let's take a look at the following FACTS about the PS3 at the moment:
- 150.000 Sales first week in Japan
- 1000 % Increase in sales in UK
- Following the predictions made in the thread of Gilgamesh (In which no-one predicted 150k for Japan), it is likely to see 250.000 + sales in America and Europe, this brings an estimated total of 400.000 units first week.
- The momentum is building up, and with GT5 and alot of other AA/AAA exclusives coming these following months, it's unlikely the momentum will drop.

I know the title is abit to overenthusiastic, but it isn't unlikely.
What are your thoughts about the console sales to come?
EDIT: Vgchartz just reported that the Ps3 Slim sold 500.000 units in the first week, proving alot, if not all, predictions in Gilgamesh's thread wrong.
"In what is probably the most successful console re-launch in history, over half a million PS3 "slims" were sold last week worldwide according to our preliminary data - this represents over a 400% increase week on week (and a number of retailers in the US had already started selling the new model PS3 last week)."
