This just makes me lawl all over:

Basically, the recent international launches for the PS3 were a bust.
My opinion on consoles: They are closing in on becoming full-fledged PCs with every generation. Performance is losing hold as a deciding factor in a console’s success. Instead, successful consoles will be the ones that include the most features for the least money, and which have the best titles (excluding the Wii, which is a “next-gen” console anomaly thanks to its ease of use and innovative play).
I believe the Wii is competing much more closely with the 360 than the PS3 is. How it unfolds for this year will rest on which console offers the best games. (Halo 3 is surely going to help)
