Its better that PS3 gets sold out the first day, so the people in Europe can buy Wii/360 instead :D Europe is getting 1million consoles, so is people expecting that the ps3 will sell more in europe in 1 day then what it did in USA/Japan for 4months :S
are you guys kidding!? selling a million consoles in one day would be the most successful launch ever and this launch isn't even during the holiday season like most others. at the moment, the best launch ever is not above 800,000, so if Sony hits that mark in a slow month like March, they definitely would have had an awesome launch despite not selling out. You guys are so cynical
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
fair enough, but again, how would selling 800,000 units out of 1,000,000 in the first day be bad? We all know the Wii is doing phenomenally well, but that doesn't mean anything falling short of the Wii's success automatically sucks. All Reeves is saying in the quotation is that having enough units available for the huge demand is a very good thing, which is a fact. You're the one trying to spin this quotation into something negative.

Nah, let's be a bit more cautious about the wii's sales. They wouldn't sell out a million 'till the end of the 2nd day, it'd take too long to get that many people through the registers in a single day. :)
Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.
so what if they all would have been on ebay. ebay units get sold, you know.
i was just throwing out a hypothetical 800,000 because it's a ton of systems sold yet not enough to sell out the supply. never claimed it as fact. What's odd to me is that Sony's able to build a million+ systems for a single month, yet Nintendo is hardly building many more systems than that per month. You would think the Wii would be significantly easier to produce in larger quantities.
