Aside from all the petty namecalling I have to disagree with that statement. Less than stellar implies that the PS3 had a poor quarter selling less than expected or less than its competitors. I think you will find 6.3m without a price cut or redesign is pretty damn good and the second best on record for the PS3 with the best ever at 6.5m which was after a pricecut and slim release. To call this quarter anything less than stellar implies that you are purposefully lowballing and can be construed as fanboyism.

Look at the situation objectively:

PS3 - 6.3m, $299 base price
Wii - 8.27m, $199 base price including 2 games
360 - 6.3m, $199 base price

The highest price console sold the same as the much cheaper competition. How you can call that less than stellar is something I can't understand.
