Meh it's kinda impressive. There's been so much built up demand for next gen shit that whoever launched first would have gotten 'fastest-selling' records. Obviously if ps3 launched first, it would have been the fastest-selling at launch.

And it really says absolutely nothing about whether the system is going to last. A large installed base is the first step on a LONG road for system longevity.

And I'm not saying at all that 360 owners are gonna also buy a ps3 at launch. I was saying that it's entirely possible that's there's a good chunk of ps2 owners who are skipping the 360 and waiting for the ps3. And of course Nintendo is doing a lot of interesting stuff.

Bottom line, the 360 is the fastest selling console to date SOLELY because it is the first next-gen system to launch, and because the overall video game market is growing.
