he PlayStation 3 has sold a total of 88,400 units out of 100,000 in the first two days since its Saturday release, according to a Reuters report. The article cites Japanese gaming mag Famitsu for the numbers. Ridge Racer 7 and Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire were the top sellers at 30,000 each with Resistance: Fall of Man coming in third at around 16,000.

But some consumers have discovered that not all of their older games work properly with the new system. Sony had billed the PS3 as fully backwards compatible, but has now reversed that claim and admitted there are some problems.

"We are sorry for the game fans that they cannot play all the games," Sony spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka said in a separate AP report. "But unfortunately some of these problems could not be avoided."

Around 200 games are said to have issues, and Sony has a website set up so that concerned gamers can check on compatibility for specific games.

Similar issues are bound to affect U.S. PS3s, but we will hopefully get some kind of firmware upgrades to help with the problem.
