5K units a week at the moment = very poor, in fact less than the original Xbox 
No way will Sony have 5 Mil unit at the Janpanese launch.
360 is shifting less than the original xbox in Jpn, bloody hell, I can remember MS getting in a wobble about the poor sales of the original. Bill must be upset, still he can always have a quick look at his bank balance to feel better.
its never going to be release in japan for march, dream on bullwinkle
dev units cost a fortune at the moment and alot of the developers are not willing to pay.. .. .. .. .. I think early 2007 for UK launch, and thats if there are no issues on the way, the memory specced for the PS3 has been bought up by the A brand VGA card partners, ask me the same question in a month or two and it might be different, possibly later.
there is no PS3 in the flesh other than the developent unit, the units at E3 where empty boxes, and only a few places are brave enough to invest the rumoured 17,000,000.00 USD (yes thats seventeen million us dollars) to make a game for it.. .. .. ..
Ill get one all the same, just to see what they are all about, its not going to be soon though ill tell you that for nothing.

They shifted a million a day for the first three days of the PS2 launch so I wouldnt put it passed a corporation with pockets quite that deep...

I don't think that's true, they shifted 3 mil in jampan in the first 3 months, 7mil. in the first Calendar year worldwide (March-Dec).
Do you have a source for your numbers? I think I can find one form mine

Where the hell did you pluck $17Mil from
I would like some of what you're smoking
Also what do you mean about special RAM and VGA bord manufactuers?
Mr Yogi
17 mill usd was reported as the figure sony computer entertainment was asking for development per game, think about it, if they will sell 5 million units in the first 3 months and are making around 20 usd per game sold, you dont actually have to work out you can make some money. SCEE liverpool will also confirm this if you ask, speak to nino ceraolo
Smoking = Marlborough lights (from holland too I might add)
1.1 ns GDDR memory is used by A brand VGA card manufacturers, for their top cards, it is very difficult to find decent quantities on the market at the moment and the PS3 is rumoured to use this memory.. .. .. a fair bit of it too.

Same speed as the XBox 360 isn't it? 700Mhz GDDR3?
PS3 only uses 256Mb of GDDR3 and XBox 360 uses 512Mb of it.
