Or, they, hmmm, we(I'm Japanese...) are apathetic to PS3 because we already have PS2? BTW, this week had one new PS3 title, but I hear it sold less than 500 copies.

Apparently there are no PS3 games in the top 50.

The PS3 has games?

I saw an interesting chart of PS3 sales, and there is a little spike when something big comes out (Gundam Musou in particular), but then sales drop back off again.

Oh my..
Ninty pwned Japan it would seem

Based on where they were at in the market with N64 and Gamecube previously (both cracking machines, as far as I'm concerned, despite perceptions of failure) this is actually pretty damn mindblowing.

Whodda thunk it? Not me, anyway.

Not that it's a figure of authority, but http://nexgenwars.com/ has PS3 about to hit 3 million sales.

Mostly amusing because when I looked a month ago they were at 3.7 million ...

My other half has just seen a picture of the PS3 while I was browsing elsewhere in the forum and said "isn't that the new Kenwood Sandwich Toaster?"

I can see the similarity and know which one I'd prefer. Ham and cheese toastie, anyone?

Egg toasties are ace... the egg goes all fluffy.

I haven't had one for years, must dig our Breville out.

One of the larger multimedia-stores in oslo has giant signs outside saying "We have Wii's in stock". No sign for the PS3, though...

Yeah, another batch in. Game, Gamestation, HMV and Virgin on Princes Street were all advertising Wiis in stock yesterday.

In Finland, Verkkokauppa has three Wiis on the shelf I think for the first time ever. All the others they've had in so far were already ordered by people, so they haven't even needed a shelf for them until now. For example mine took 2 months to arrive after ordering it due to the demand.

They have huge piles of PS3s available though, although to be fair loads of people have ordered those too.

Do you have to cook the egg first or put it in raw?

Keep this as an Opera favourite on your Wii and you have clips of VC games
