Not bad.. but from the link you posted:

"Sony has revealed that 525,000 PlayStation 3 units were sold in the United States between November 18th and November 24th"

Microsoft numbers were between November 18th and Friday, November 23rd.. so with one more day of sale microsoft should be near 900k!

Xbox 360 – 381,000 (15% y-o-y)
Wii – 319,000 (-31% y-o-y)
PS3 – 267,000 (-3% y-o-y)

he information below comes straight from Wedbush Morgan…

Current generation (PS3, Wii, 360, PSP, DS) software sales were $572 million, $52 million above our estimate, while legacy software sales were $4 million, $6 million below our estimate. Wii software sales were $179 million (down 20% y-o-y), Xbox 360 sales were $170 million (up 8%), and PS3 sales were $141 million (up 24%). DS software sales were $72 million (down 13%), while PSP software sales Entertainment: Software| 3 were $10 million (down 37%).

The increases in sales for the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms have become the norm, and declines for the other consoles have also become the norm. Over the next year, we expect Wii and DS software sales to continue the negative trend, but anticipate strong sales for Nintendo's 3DS that should spur overall handheld software sales back into positive territory. We expect PS3 software sales to spike when several high profile releases launch in the coming months, and believe that overall PS3 software sales would benefit immensely from a hardware price cut, expected in June.

Under one-fifth of PS3 sales included bundles with Sony's Move controller, suggesting another modest month (we have chosen not to subscribe to peripheral data). Just under three-fifths of Xbox 360 sales included bundles with Microsoft's Kinect peripheral, as Xbox 360 Kinect console bundles again outsold PS3 Move console bundles by almost 5:1. We note that the top selling Kinect software titles easily outsold their Move counterparts

not surprising there. 360 dominates, the wii is sputtering along and the ps3........dead last. sony needs a price cut ASAP. they have to do something to spike the sales. but if they do, you know MS is going to counter. the 360 is in the best position, at least in america (i will throw that in for the cows) :P

360: 397,000

PS3: 485,000

Pretty good numbers.

OMG! Are you telling me I will need to get up after like 25 hours of gameplay to switch disc??????? Thank god we have bluray, I just bought the Pacific on bluray and guest what? it comes on 7 bluray discs! I have to get up every 2hours...

Wow a lot of people here don't know anything about the stock market!!! Yes the market cap of sony is about 40 billions but you cannot buy a public company at market price it's ridiculous... If apple want to buySony they have to make an offer to investors, INVESTORS DON'T HAVE TO SELL THEIR SHARES! Anyone who owns sony stocks would be really dump to sell at market price they'll want at least 40% premium. Anyway you guys should check some of the latest takover, it's not easy at all, japan can stop apple from buying sony, just like canada is stopping BHP's from buying potash corp. BHP made an offer with an 40% premium over market price..

Since the launch of the PS3 I saw a lot of bravia TV promotions where they are giving ps3 with the purchase. Do you think sony reached at least 1 million free ps3 give away?

let see some numbers:

45,000 units

The offer, which began on May 1, will run until July 12, or until all 45,000 units have been claimed

21,000 (Sony Australia 2010)

Here's how it works: buy a new Bravia 3D TV, be one of the first 21,000 people to submit your proof of purchase to Sony, and you'll have a new 160GB PS3

25,000 (2009):

Sony is giving away 25,000 PlayStation slims, one with every selected Bravia LCD TV model in the lead up to Christmas. It seems Sony allowed a couple of bloggers to watch the "destruction" event. According to gizmag, there were only two of them who saw the said event.
