A bit of hearsay floating around the office right now is that Sony has
sold only a couple of hundred units in the States. Or was that
Metrowerks? You see how gossip gets mangled in transit over the
Atlantic.

In either case I'm surprised as hell that there's been so little
takeup; the impression I got from the European groups was that there'd
be more, since it's usually only a vocal 2% who contribute to
newsgroups. Perhaps all those garage programmers out there have
decided to wait for the Nintendo 64 home devkit ;=)
