Sales of the Playstation 3 fell by nearly 49 percent in the first week, and the low shipments are being blamed for this drop. Over 88,000 consoles were sold in the first two days, and just about half that the following week.
The U.S. numbers have not been released, but many predict the same type of drop. It's also reported that game sales were lower than expected because people were buying the console mainly for reselling. Gamestop sold an average of 1.5 games with the PS3 console, and the Nintendo Wii sold an average 3 games with the console.
