Our brave friends across the Atlantic are continuing to STICK IT TO and RIGHT INTO Sony, with PS3 sales DOWN 18% during October. Despite the launch of some shit user-generating, administrator-deleting content game about being a teddy bear and having your hard work removed that was all the rage for about 36 hours. Here’s a list.

US HARDWARE SALES FOR OCTOBER, 2008

Wii: 803,000
DS: 491,000
360: 371,000
PSP: 193,000
PS3: 190,000
PS2: 136,000

ANALYSIS:
Selling fewer consoles when you’ve got your most important game of the year out AND it’s nearly Christmas is a 10/10 on the SEGA Saturn UK Launch Disaster Scale.
