    I'm pretty sure 2 is the "Halo 3". It made the news on the MCV website due to crowd control fears from the local council.

    this is not a true figure and is their estimate, jsut like if you read a little further it says

    <!-- / message --><!-- sig --> "PS3 + 2 x first-party titles (£40.00) + 2 x third-party titles (£50) x 165K (£425) = £99,825,000 (an average of £605 per unit sold). Please bear in mind that this is indeed only one possible scenario. We await the official software figures with genuine excitement."

    Official figures for the UK launch of the PlayStation 3 are, frankly, astonishing with the PS3 selling 165,000 units since launch on Friday 23rd adding up to £70,125,000 worth in cash. And there are still 55,000 PS3s in the shops, from Sony's initial UK allocation of 220,000.

    The figures, confirmed to us by Chart-Track (and also reported in industry bible, MCV)

    Look pretty official to me.

    I think that their only supposition is regarding peripheral sales such as games etc...
    Started comps 7th August 2007 total for 2007 £1890
