PlayStation3 Reached 1 Million Sales in UK Faster than PS2
While people criticize the Sony PlayStation3 for various reasons, Sony appears to be doing something right. Despite large total sales leads that both the Microsoft Xbox360 and the Nintendo Wii have on the Sony PS3, the Sony PS3 is beating one console: it's predecessor. In the United Kingdom, it took the PlayStation 2 50 weeks to reach 1 million sales. Considering that the PS3 was launched on March 23, 2007, it took Sony a little less than 47 weeks (yes I did count) to sell 1 million units in the United Kingdom. Comparatively, it took Nintendo 38 weeks to sell 1 million Wiis in the UK, and Microsoft required 60 weeks to sell 1 million Xbox 360s.

I doubt I will ever own a PS3 (or any console for that matter).
But if Sony is doing well with sales, the competition is good for all console consumers.
Me? I'll stick with my trusty PC.
If games only come out on consoles, I just take the condescending attitude that, "They are not worthy of being a PC game." :roll:
I'm not console bashing, the new hardware is really innovative and exceptional.
The consoles just do not have the diveristy that a PC has for me.
^^^ Maybe Zek can post a news topic on it.
The wii being the hot selling console, actually has the lowest average game rating.

Let's take Lost Odyssey for example:
The game gets advertised by Microsoft to be the Epic type game, and then it gets mixed or average reviews. It's really a testament to a lot of the games on the Xbox.
