It was kind of predictable that it would happen, sales of the PS3 Slim have dropped from selling 150,000 PS3 Slim units in the first week of release to week 2 at a steady; 57,056. Do you think they will be disappointed that sales have dropped by well over 1/2 the first week? Of course not, look how it compares; DSi – 66,416 PS3 – 57,056 PSP – 19,57 [...]
