http://ps3.qj.net/PS3-now-the-fastest-selling-console-in-history/pg/49/aid/87990

Sony has hit the 400 million Euro mark to cap off its launch week that saw PAL territories snag 600,000 of Sony's units to make the PS3 not only the most expensive console to date but also, according to ChartTrack, the fastest selling one in game history.

Sonysold 165,000 PS3 units in the United Kingdom, some 80,000 more in France and 50-60,000 in Spain, Portugal, Germany and Italy. In addition, 150,000 people have registered to the PlayStation Network the same week. Not bad for the beleaguered kings of modern gaming.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) president David Reeves said "We saw around Euro 400 million sales going through retail across PAL territories in two days; that's certainly a big figure, which we're very proud of."

Not only will I praise Sony for outselling Nintendo&Microsoft,I will also praise you for making an excellent topic! The Ps3 even with it's "high" price tag is clearly still the one to beat,in 3 months there will be roughly quadruple the amount of owners,and with blockbuster titles coming out,Sony are in a perfect position.

Best Buy typically doesn't use boxes for display purposes. Go and pick one up. Unless the load it with Rocks there are typically PS3's in there. Don't deny anymore please.

Actually, at my Best Buy the PS3s are behind locked glass cases, and there are empty display boxes in front of the store. What was that? Was that your brain realizing other stores do things differently?

I have been to god know how many best buys and never seen consoles behind glass. I mean what are you going to do... run out with a giant box under your shirt? I can understand somethings being behind glass like GPS and such but not big consoles...

The only reason I buy consoles is for the sheer bragging rights whenever my accounting friends come over and I can tell them, "Yeah, my console was the fastest selling in Europe."

Gasp. Wait, why is that a bad thing? Such a thing only breeds competition, and competition breeds ideas, and ideas breed the end of the world. No wait, scratch that last part.

So if lemmings use "sales" numbers cows will just say that they are shipped numbers? And if cows use "sales" numbers, they are actual sales?

[QUOTE="mylsd"]yeah, yeah, yeah, so was the PSP when it came out and look at it nowVojkan80001

Yes it sold 21 million units as proof of doing bad. (Sarcasm)

Its not succesful as DS but that is mostly because of the high price and lack of original games. This year many original titles for PSP will be relesed and will see if it will help a little. But to call PSP a FLOP is insane.

What else sold 21 million units... Oh I know... The GC. What Cows always call a flop :lol: Seriously, though, for the PSP to even be acknowledged in the handheld market is a serious accomplishment.

The ones in display cases or behind the counter are actual PS3s. It's just the ones above game shelves or in windows that are empty boxes.

the problem for the people at Sony is that this time around PS3 didn't play hard to get... huge mistake... now with no shortages fanboys are saying that PS3 are collecting dust in the shelves... when in fact is selling well for such a high priced gadget...

it doesn't matter if it is the fastest selling console. sony could have sold ONLY 10 ps3's in .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds (which would probably make it the fastest selling console) but would only have sold 10. oh, by the way, ps3 still suxorz because sony over promised, lied and under delivered.

What are you talking about the PS2 was a great console imo. Do you think PS2 would have had the support it did, were it not for its sales? If anyboday says to me that PS2 would be where it is even if its sales were below that of GC and Xbox should be shot.

That wasn't addressed to you since you didn't say that............ Sales do in fact equal software support and PS2 had a lot of it because of its sales. (Again not addressing you) People can even hate the PS2 and its titles, but good sales are in no way a bad thing to either the console and the developers supporting it, wich in this industry developer support is all that matters. Specially if you're looking for a wide range of titles on any certain console.
