From what I can figure out, Sony is still selling nearly 840,000 a month in Japan (judging from the last 3 months of data here:http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdatap s2_e.html) So selling out most of 10,000 units is really success only relative to the disaster sales have been so far. The headline seems to make this more of a success story than seems justified.
From what I can tell, the next generation as a whole is taking off slowly; even in the US.
