After an apparent manufacturing issue caused some initial slowdown in producing the new unit, Sony reportedly underestimated demand, caused in part by shortages between the time the old units were cleared out and the new units were ready.
Later, Sony gained steam with new development kits for game developers and more PlayStations for consumers.
During one week in November, sales in the entire country of Britain totalled 6,000 units - compared to 70,000 a few weeks prior.
With a price of $299.99 per console, Sony made gross sales of roughly $153,000,000.
