PS3 Breaks Records in UK Launch
Aided by racing titles MotorStorm and Formula One, the PlayStation 3 had the best UK console launch ever, according to Joystiq and MCVUK. This generation saw the Wii kick off with 105,000 units and the Xbox 360's sell through 70,000. The PSP still holds the record at 185,000 for a portable console, but I imagine Sony's pretty happy about this either way. "With plenty of consoles left in the 220,000 strong initial shipment, it would appear that a strong supply is the key to launch victory. Will sales remain brisk in the foreseeable future? We'll find out soon enough, but until then, expect some elaborately spun responses from Sony's competitors. Perhaps UK journalists ought to return those stacks of beer to Microsoft -- then again, alcohol already seems a likely explanation for steering the Xboat to the wrong continent."

Ok, this might be a bit off topic, but since the story is UK-related...
I want to pork Emma Watson. I mean, I know she's only 16, and I'm 35, but I fantasize about nailing her almost all the time.
In fact, I find that the older I get, the women I fantasize about hunching the most keep getting younger and younger. Emma's 16, last year it was the Olsen twins at the tender age of 18, what's next? 14 years old? Dakota Fanning?
Anyhow, I want to pork Emma Watson.
I do feel the need to defend them here since no one else seems to. I actually presently like the 360 a lot more than the PS3, but that console doesn't need defending.

note to self... when I think a product is rubbish... navigate to Slashdot and find a post that says otherwise.
On a side note... when did Sony become the underdog?

/. users love. It's just as silly a notion, yet just as true.
Around E3 2006.
Honestly, you might as well ask when Microsoft became the company that
