Hey look! Nobody's reporting Sony's Euro success!

Not really, and i don't have much faith in the UK sales record before i see real numbers. (i have never seen Sony reveal a real estimate of sold consoles)_Tobli_

[QUOTE="tantalum2006"]

different variables that MADE IT A SUCCESS. these "different variables" as you say are the things that set their launch apart as a success. Sony made a better desision than microsoft or nintendo for their launch. thats why they did better on their launch than either of the two companies. just because someone makes a smarter decision does not make the whole situation completely different. longhorn7

It does when in the launch period of more than a couple of days the company doesn't sell as many consoles...as happened in North America. Which once again is the point. One or two day or 7 day sales mean little. Let's see what happens in May. In North America the new console is getting outsold by the year old one by a large margin the beginning of this year. And the Wii is bell of the ball.

That's all i'm saying. I'm not saying the PS3 is a horrible machine. I'm not saying the launch was disastrous. I'm not saying don't buy one and you are an idot for doing so. I'm saying i don't think anyone should be fooled into thinking the launch of the PS3 thus far has been anything but a disappointment to Sony. It has been.

165,000 in the uk compared to 105,000 wii's and the xbox360s at 70,000, and especially after they sold so many ps2's over christmas is pretty damn impressive, but the world hates Sony right now, dont take it personnally.magrappy

Good lord...  You sir... take the cake.

QUESTION: Sales of 600,000 good or bad?

According to you its bad.   Fine.  What's your defintion of good?  1 million sold in a single day?

You know what?  Most people would say 600,000 = good and 1 million = ungodly.

However, since you insist on redefininng what good is go ahead.  Give me a number.

WHAT IS GOOD IN YOUR DEFINITION?  600,001?  600,0002?  700,000? 

What's the "TIPPING POINT" for you?

Are we all done bashing each other's consoles yet? I hope all fanboys get hit by a semi truck carrying their favorite console... :|Bladecutter56

now all the fanboys out there this topic is about the ps3 success in euro, OK now by fact it was the best launch ever in there it sold 600000 and thats impresive no matter how you look at it, so stop arguing about the future and what is gonna hapen if everyone just has a little patience all the forums would be a better place, wait 2 years(mabey one more) and then we will decide who is winning so wait and we will soon see the

one system that will beat the all

one system to bind them

and in eb games destroy them 

...Man...reading this topic is like reading a novel...

Ah well...it's an interesting novel...
