You should look at the PS2 launch sales to see how bad the PS3 is doing.

How come you spin bad Sony sales figures into an anti MS article?

The 360 is not selling well in Japan but compared to the original Xbox its doing far better.

PS3 sales figures are nowhere near as good as they were for the PS2 - 900,000 in the launch weekend.

Sorry to say but The Register used to be the place for technology news but nowadays the articles seem to be 'copy and paste with added bile' and the reviews are very inconsistent.
