FWIW, I'm not seeing the PS3 launch as a major success over here. I had a look at the stock in one shop over here: they had 143 PS3s in stock, whereas there were no Wiis. It seems like Sony may have overestimated the demand in the UK, as every shop has a good supply of PS3s on sale. On the other hand, there are no Wiis available.
Could end up being bad for Sony judging by how big a hit they're taking on each console even if they're sold.
