After all, it shows that Sony has only shifted a maximum of 2.7 million PS3s in the US which is an utterly pathetic showing after more than a year.
Rather amusingly, The Registers' favourite console sales site, VGChartz, claims that Sony has shipped 2.75 million PS3s in the US. This means one of two things, either Sony has sold no Bluray standalone players in the US at all or the PS3 really is doing even more atrociously in the most important console sales region than Sony would have us believe.
In contrast the Wii has shifted 7 million units in North America and the XBox 360 has shifted 9 million units.

That's quite an interesting number, but the console sales number is to 1st Dec, not 24th Nov, but VGChartz gives the weekly PS3 sales figure we can estimate.
So in that week they sold 155,515 PS3s add on the 50k (2.75m-2.7m) difference = 200k stand alone BD players in the US.
So by Sunday it should be past the 3 million Blu ray player mark (2 weeks of PS3 sales = 310k plus whatever the stand alone players sell).
