Official figures compiled by Chart Track reveal that UK sales of the PlayStation 3 console have taken a 82% slump during its second week of availability here in the UK. Chart Track gathers data from 7000 UK retail outlets which account for 90% of the software market.

Sony's PlayStation 3 set a UK launch record for a home console, shifting 165,000 units over the launch weekend. Despite the dramatic fall in console sales, the PS3 holds positions two and three in the UK video game chart, with Resistance: Fall of Man and MotorStorm.

If they sold 165 000 units the first week, that means they sold 29 700 units the second week. For a total of approx 195 000 units sold. That only leaves 5 000 units of the original 200 000 units left! Most impressive!

IF you are going to compare the second week sales they should put what the second week drops of the wii and 360 were.
