Funny you should mention consoles DYING.
The PS3 is DYING in the US too - les than half the Wii's sales, and
101k less than the 360.
So the diference i smore than made up for just by the US alone.
Meanwhile, the european PS3 carcrash of a launch is impending, and
retailers, desperate to shift stock, are already offering discounts
and other bribes.
