If I read this right, it says that Sony shipped 100,000 units but I'm not sure how rock solid that is. That's old information.

Enterbrain said that Ridge Racer 7 and Mobile Suit Gundam: Target in Sight, both from Namco Bandai Holdings, were the top two selling games at about 30,000 units each.

Of the total sold so far in Japan, Enterbrain said 54,600, or about 62 percent, were of the more advanced model.

I would suspect the remaining 12,000 PS3's are probably in kiosks and other things of that nature.

It's just like when MSFT promised 400k at launch but only delivered around 360-370k.

Typical and no big deal.


And how are HD-DVD and the Xbox platform doing in the East again?

This is all within what? 2-3 days?

All as expected and more to come. And it launches in the West in less than a week.
