It's estimated that there were between 250,000 - 275,000 PS3's avaliable for Launch (US).
Since it's launch, the Wii has sold over 1/6 of what the X360 has since it launched; and Nintendo has upped it's March 31st, 2007 estimate (I believe it's the beginning/end of the fiscal year) to 6 Million Wii's sold by that time.
DS sales haven't taken any sort of hit since the Wii launch (There was speculation that the Wii would cut into the DS sales, but they have remained "normal" to slightly above "normal" (I quote normal because the DS sales really aren't normal, and never have been; it's routinely been selling an almost shocking amount of units since launch; nothing like normal portable sales.))
I haven't come across any launch numbers yet besides Nintendo's official "One Million" statement; but I'm guessing it was actually around 600,00-750,000. Any links would be helpful
Hey, the DS is good. Lots of great games on it, plus the nice control system. I'd buy one if I had unlimited money as it's the only portable with better games than my cellphone has.

Ouch... PS3 gfx are as bad, if not worse than the graphics on my PC. Guess you can't beat the guys who invented DirectX. Better framerates AND graphics with the 360? Which is bad as I'm using a $110 graphics card I bought 2 days ago. Well... there goes the PS3's fan base. With a company as evil as Sony, nothing can save the PS3. At least Microsoft is ok, they give to charity unlike Sony which sues little companies.
So, sorry, dogzer... in terms of speed, price, graphics, no vibration, the PS3 sucks. Bad. It's just the Wii vs X360, I guess. And PC.. but judging from the screenies here, I'd say the PC will pwn in 2 years instead of 4. Video cards support TV outs, you know, and PS2 controller-USB adapters already exist..

Eh, the gamecube architecture was vastly superior to the ps2 and xbox. The ps3 is as surely faster then the wii as the wii is as surely faster then the ps2... Argh confusing
i played it today. it is fun-yes ( i am not surprised) but currently the graphics REALLY suck but who cares about grapbics? once yu are playing you won't mind too much the graphics are shit but it was always kind of bothering me. i am very sure the wii can do way better graphics. it just takes time. the detection could also be way better. but overall the idea behind the wii is just great.
