Is Microsoft In Trouble? Pt. 2
,----[ Quote ]
| Here are January 2007's numbers for North America:
|
| Wii: 485,000
| PS2: 338,250
| 360: 332,250
| PS3: 275,500
|
| It's important to note that this is North American numbers only.
| Sony is about to launch in the EU and supply the North American
| market with 2 million shiny new consoles. The PS3 is 50,000 units
| short of overtaking the 360 in North America and the games have
| barely begun to flow.

The PS3 could still come from behind when production rates meet demand. Then,
the use of PS3 Linux (YDL 5) will increase.
