Take it with a grain of salt but vgchartz says that the PS3 edged out the Wii and 360 in America last week.

Batman AA also sold about 800,000 worldwide on both consoles.

Not surprising imo. $299 was the magic number for a pile of people who were looking to get a PS3. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:51 1
- Not surprising at all, but a price reduction is a very short term boost. -- nm - Inigo Sep 3, 10:52
Anecdotally, the PS3 was doing well at Best Buy last night. I saw three sold while we were in line. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:51 16
- I've been toying with the idea of lifting my boycott eventually (when I get a new TV) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:52 15
  - Why boycott? It's a fantastic console. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:53 14
    - When it first launched, they were attrociously egomaniacal, mostly thanks to Kenny K, and I was offended by that. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:55 7
      - (also overpriced and insistent that users would be "willing to pay to gain access to such incredible technology") - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:56 5
        
        At launch, the PS3 looked no fun at all? -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 10:57 4
        
        Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:58 3
        
        (Specifically, it looked like an over-priced, over-powered, under-utilized, ego-driven pile of crap) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 10:58 2
        
        and to put that in perspective, I didn't get an XBox 360 until two years after it was released. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 11:00 1
        
        I traded in my xbox for a 360 when it was stil 399 for the basic one -- nm - eag Sep 3, 11:14
      - Get over it Sally :) -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:56
    - I genuinely despise ours. I had to get two updates last week and it keeps trying to get us to shop in the store. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:54 5
      - The updating can be annoying when you just want to play a game. - Stephen Sep 3, 10:58 1
        
        Aye. When I threw in KZ2 a few months ago to play it, I needed like a 90mb update iirc. Booooo. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 11:11
      - Interesting. I haven't needed an update recently that I can recall. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:55 2
        
        We had to get 2.6x one day then 3.0 almost immediately afterward. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:56 1
        
        I should check my FM version. I'm not even sure what it's at. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 10:57
