So this week Sony announced that they have now sold 40,000,000 PS2's in Europe. Does that mean we will get more games or get them sooner?

Nah, probably not. But Sony is quite happy to announce that they are grateful for the forty million PS2 owners having bought the console and they promise that we will have new games to play 'as soon as we can remember where we put them...' Reminds me a little of the Ronald Reagan era where something (guns, drugs, money) was always being misplaced.
 

In approximately 2 hours from right now, Japanese gamers will be the first to lay hands on the next entry to the next-gen console race, the long awaited PlayStation 3. The United States will have to wait another week to have the privilege, and our unfortunate European friends across the "pond" will have to wait until March because of engineering times endured creating the console's Cell processor, and the availability of Blu-Ray devices.

Gamer's Week 2.0, will be a week of video game-themed shows on MTV, MTV2, mtvU, games.mtv.com, Xfire and GameTrailers.com. The special programming will air next week, in conjunction with the launches of the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 consoles.

Here's another contest I happened upon when I was going to start my "Christmas want list" article. This time it's Nintendo themselves who are giving away the Wii and there's nothing to it really.
