Yeah, and you stop babbling about how big Sony is in your country. No one cares about Portugal, Spain or whatever.

I think Sir Howard Stringer is entirely correct. The data showing the latest sales from this weekend won't even be available at vgchartz till about wednesday of this week. It was only then that they finally got stock, and and advertisements, and retail promotions, all going at the same time. The data will start to come in, reflecting the new higher sales....and higher than just the holiday season would suggest...to get an idea on that, compare it to PS2 sales, which will only get a seasonal boost and nothing else.

the week old data, reflecting supply constraints from last week, cannot be used to guage any kind of trend...I guess that's one issue with getting data each week, is people read too much into it.

The real story here, is the pentup PS3 demand, coming out at the $399 price point. My guess would have been, that $399 is not the magic number, but more like $199. Very interesting that its taking off as it is, at $399...the most expensive of all consoles.

excuse me, since vgchartz isn't going to let me edit my poorly typed post...I was talking about this weekends data not being available until next week. And next's week report being the first that is able to reflect Sony's new trend.

Wish I could just edit it....but I will have to learn to be more careful on the first try, because the edit screen takes 20 minutes to come up sometimes.

Maybe by "highest selling console" he was actually talking about PS3 physical height? :P

Now if only Sony could make these numbers last, then there would be some sizzle to the steak.
