2.7 million: 700,000 players is roughly the ratio, and don’t even get started on actual disc sales. Sure, you could argue for HD-DVD and say that 2 million plus of those players are PS3s, making the HD-DVD numbers seem more real, and for the most part that would be a fair assumption that PS3 owners aren’t buying Blu-Ray discs, but they are.

The Nintendo Wii, as everyone already knew, is doing very well, but it turns out, sales isn’t the only place the system is doing well. It is also the most searched for product on the internet for all of last month.

Sony’s Slim PSP sold over one million unit since its launch in September

PSP went on diet and gets more popular in Japan as it passes 1 million unit sales within two months. The slimeline PSP went on sale in Japan on 20th of September and according to Sony, it managed to sell 500,000 units within the first two weeks. Sony sheds 19 percent of the slim PSP thickness and 33 percent of its weight. Despite its slim down, the PSP gains more features such as a video-out port. However, Sony still behind Nintendo in handheld console wars as Nintendo’s DS Lite stays ahead in the game.

According to C-Net and the sales from Amazon, the ASUS Eee is the must have gadget of the year. Not the iPod Touch, not the iPhone, the Asus Eee.

In fact, its pretty much sold out everywhere you go. Even school corporations are buying them for use in the classroom, which they are perfect for, they don’t have hardware that’s powerful enough to allow the teachers or the students to FUBAR things, but they have just enough hardware for it to act a lot like a portable thin client if you wanted.

So some Italian site (morse.it) is claiming that Vodafone is getting the new 3G iPhone exclusively in all its coverage areas. Furthermore they claim that said iPhone won’t be announced until after the holiday season so as not to affect holiday sales of the current iPhone.

They are claiming that they have received the info from “highly reliable sources”, what kind of “highly reliable sources” is close enough to Apple, but far enough away to go to an Italian blog first? Whatever, we all know a 3G iPhone is due sometime next year, and I personally would be disappointed if it was UMTS and not EV-DO or HSDPA, or even better yet HSDPA/HSUPA.

So, Black Friday (this Friday for those not in the know) is fast approaching and that means that millions of people in the retail industry will seriously consider suicide as a possible alternative to finishing their shift. It also means that there will be tons of stuff on sale for dirt cheap.

A large portion of that stuff will be electronics, computers, home theater equipment, you name it, the US is probably one of, if not the largest markets for consumer electronics and Black Friday is a great excuse to move a few units out the door. One such product that many cost savvy consumers will be looking for is the coveted uber cheap notebook.

Just when you thought corporate whoredom in your local grocer’s has reached a peak, ModStream comes along and offers up the genius idea of putting scrolling marquees in your shopping cart handles. This would allow managers, vendors, or whoever else had access to the system to beam messages OTA to the shopping carts.

That way you can get the latest cereal that has marshmallows shaped like WMD’s or something like that. I could see it being useful, that way it would keep them off the PA, they could just broadcast the messages on in-store sales to your shopping cart, and it would be easier to ignore, but they will continue to find a reason to use that blasted PA system.

61531Sure, you can find 4GB and 8GB flash models all over the place. Once again though, MS put their eggs in the wrong basket and focused production efforts on the flash models expecting them to be the ones selling out, but no, it’s the new 80GB versions that are sold out both online and in retail stores.

Apparently the retailers aren’t expecting any more stock of the 80GB players until after Christmas. So, Microsoft finally makes a player worthy of a sellout and then they run out of them well before the holiday season and won’t be restocked until well after. Genius.

That’s just here in the US, and Sony is blaming the introduction of the $400 40GB model for the spike. Last week, the week ending in November 11th, Sony sold over 100k PS3’s in the US alone.

That’s a hell of an increase over the 30-40k a week they were selling. So now I am thinking I might have to go get myself a PS3 and see what all the hype’s about.

So they quit, they are through, from here on out you’ll have to go somewhere else to get your consumer electronics. Really they are, but I don’t think it was on that bad of terms, it was a simple business decision, they can’t hardly compete with the native companies such as Panasonic, Sony, Sharp, or other companies they had to compete with.

They are hoping to continue selling their components to companies for business to business sales, but that’s it. Not much of a difference really, they had already pulled their products from shelves a while ago, but now they won’t even be selling them online to Japan.
