1. PS3 is selling about 30,000-60,000 units per week in the USA the
last two weeks...that is a FAR CRY from 3000 units per week of Xbox
360 in Japan!
2. The pS3 still does not have blockbuster games in the USA
(Motorstorm is sorta a good game, but came AFTER the last stats, so is
not reflected yet in data), so it selling only 100k less than the
Xbox360 (a less than 2:1 ratio) at a much higher price point and with
NO games is pretty ok - not spectacular, but ok...
