Gears of War sold 1 million copies in 2 weeks -- not bad at all. The Xbox 360's software attach rate is already up to 5 games per console sold as well."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Only 125,000 to 175,000 units were in stores for the PS3 launch. Only 1/3rd of the target.
Looks like a paper launch to me. Sony should have waited until spring for the launch, if this is all they're going to ship.
American Technology Research's P.J. McNealy, in a note to investors, said there were just 125,000 to 175,000 PS3s in stores for the system's launch. That's roughly half of his initial expectations. Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets estimated the number at around 150,000.
While Sony (Charts) is airlifting PlayStation 3 video game systems to the U.S. on a weekly basis, analysts remain unsure how many it will be able to get on shelves before the end of the year. Sebastian believes only 750,000 will be sold in the U.S. this year. McNealy, who had previously forecast a worldwide shipment number of 2 million units, wrote in a note to investors he is now reviewing those estimates.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

It's a gong show, organizationally.
Ken Kutaragi apparently has been ignoring third party game developers too. Ubisoft (Assassin's Creed) and Rockstar (GTA 4) both approached Sony and wanted another exclusivity agreement like last year, but Sony never got back to them. Result? They're purely multiconsole games now, with Assassin's Creed being primarily developed on the 360."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

I thought they couldn't do worse than the 360 launch. But this is much worse.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

For comparison, Microsoft sold 326,000 units in November and 900,000 by the end of December in 2005. In North America.
Microsoft sold 500,000 by the end of December in 2005 in Europe -- Sony will sell 0 by the end of 2006 in Europe.
They had an allocation of approximately 700,000 units available on launch day spread across all 3 regions. Sony has had about 150,000 - 200,000 units total on launch day spread across all 3 regions.
The current installed userbase of Xbox 360s worldwide at the end of October was about 7,000,000. Sales in November are supposed to be incredibly strong, as well December sales..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
