Famitsu, a popular Japanese gaming media outlet, has released some interesting figures on the November 11th launch of the PlayStation 3.

Total Consoles Sold: 88,400

20GB PS3: 33,800
60GB PS3: 54,600

Total Games Sold: 76,000

Ridge Racer 7: 30,300
Mobile Suit Gundam: 30,000
Resistance: Fall of Man: 15,700

These figures show that the PlayStation 3 sold a little less than one game per console, which is not a great figure at all, considering Sony recuperates a majority of the cost of their consoles from software sales alone.

The only logical conclusion to these numbers is that many PlayStation 3s were sold by scalpers on auction companies such as eBay, thus supporting the low software title sales. As more consoles become available, the ratio of consoles to games sold should gradually increase.

Once people buying on eBay get their PS3s they will be buying games too. At Wal-Mart we got 12 systems and they only sold like 3-4 games.
