"Sales remain very strong inNorth America, and we expect continued enthusiasm as we launch the PlayStation 4 in Europe and Latin America onNovember 29.

To put this into perspective, the PS3 only sold 197k units in its first TWO WEEKS of launch, although there was a supply shortage and it was $599.
