Shipments do not equal sales. I have been to numerous retailers where
there were substantial numbers of PS3s waiting to be purchased (by
contrast, good luck winding a Nintendo Wii). and, according to this here:
http://www.betanews.com/article/PlayStation_3_Barely_Eclipses_TwoThirds_of_Sales_Goals/1168616462
as of January 12, Sony has sold 687,300 PS3s in the U.S. since launch. I
do not know if this number is adjusted for returns (which are apparently
happening A LOT-- that overheating problem looks to be worse than many
thought) or not.
p.s. I don't have a dog in this fight myself; I'm just trying to keep
folks honest.
