Well it looks like i'm wrong and the Playstation 3 has proved everybody wrong by becoming the fastest selling games console in history.
If you look at the sales for the first day it did'nt look that good however sony must of turned things around with them selling 135.000 units in the first few days and that has slightly impressed me.
You see there was alot more playstation 3 on the shelves, sony sent out 250.000 units compared to the wii's 106.000 and the xbox 360 60.000 units.
Now the Wii sold out and the 360 did as well but the one thing you do have to have in your mind is that the Wii and 360 sold out well before there launch with all consoles going to people who pre-orded them.
It did'nt matter if you pre-orded your PS3 as alot of shops had stock left over, one piece of evidence is that my local gamestation had a sign up saying that they've just recieved some new stock but i think that is a total lie as one of the blokes in the shop said that only 70 people pre-orded a PS3 and that there was another 50 to sell on the day.
So while the PS3 did sell really really well it did'nt sell out so all of the PS3 fanboys can't start bragging yet.
