Apperently Sony fanboys think Europe is full of backwards idiots.

...so let me get this straight boys.

In North America (the biggest gaming market) Sony "shipped" 1 million PS3's in 6 weeks with 300k of those units still on the store shelves as we speak because the games and the system itself did not live up to the hype. LINK

In Japan (Sony's home turf), the almighty PS3 sold 550k units, even though Sony has claimed today they "shipped" 1 million units again because the games and the system itself hasn't lined up to the hype. LINK

Knowing this and the fact that almost every gaming and mainstream press outlet has pretty much crowned PS3 one of the biggest duds of 2006, you guys still insist the europe will still flock to it?

That means you must think Europeans don't watch television, do go on the internet, don't read press reports don't see comparative video, and all around enjoy Sony themselves treating them as second-class consumers.

As you can see with all the PS3's collecting their 3rd layer of dust right now on retail shelves, there was absolutely no reason why Sony couldn't do a launch in at least the UK.

So please, tell me why the PS3 won't suffer the same outcome that it did in both NA and Japan?

They think Europe is already a done deal, because they were Sonyland last gen.

News flash: That was last gen. You know, when your console wasn't $600 and had games?

So by your statement alone you have done exstensive research on the PS3 not selling at all?

So you are one of those people that can't think for yourself, you let magazine, newspapers, and gaming sites think for you instead of trying something out for yourself!

[QUOTE="tegovoltio"]More games available by the time it launches on Europe.[/QUOTE

And what games will those be?

VF5- was never really big in EU

Motorstorm - No offline miltiplayer and atrocious load times.

So just like in NA and japan the PS3 will be the "Resistance box"

There was a thread on here like 3 days ago about a guy from Greece who said that PS3 was pretty much the only console everyone in his country wanted.  He also went on to say most of Europe shared his idea.

And no, I'm not gonna go look for the link.

I saw that thread as well.

A year delay in Europe should kill the PS3 there for sure. It will launch what 15 months after the 360 and have less games, a higher price and worse graphics. But it will sell some for sure. Sony has brainwashed cows all over the world. -CC-

It has nothing to do with what I think.  I'm just showing the reality of the situation, and asking what's gonna be different.

I live in the UK, and six people, including me, own an Xbox 360 in my Business studies class (I go to College)

wish non european would stop talking about europ like they know what its like here. we aren't poor like 70% of the us population.trasherhead

My sig is reason enough to dis regard any thread created by the topic maker.mave198

Your sig doesn't change the facts I presented.

Does you sig change the facts PS3 demand has pretty much halted?  No.

So what now?

40 million PS2's sold 39 million PS1's sold. Yet Europe isn't important enough for launch :|Sketchbaz

I didn't say that.  What I said was that certain Sony fanbouy seem to believe Europe is so blindly loyal to Sony, they'll buys millions of PS3s at launch despite what's happening everywhere else.

Why does everyone think europe = sonyland??

Europe
Pop. 700 million.
ps2 owners. 25-30 million

US
Pop. 300 million
ps2 owners. 35 million

beyondgamez

How long do you think it will talk to sell that million.

They think Europe is already a done deal, because they were Sonyland last gen.

News flash: That was last gen. You know, when your console wasn't $600 and had games?

I bought a PS2 at launch here in England and there was one good game for it.SolidSnake35

Where as most people with sense already enjoyed the huge number of quality DC games whilst they waited for a price drop and good games on the PS2.

? PS3 will launch with VF5, Oblivion, Resistance, Call of duty 3, Motorstorm and Heavenly Sword.

z_gaming_master

Already made my comments on VF5 and Motorstorm.

I guess you didn't hear Heavenly Sword was pushed back

And Oblivion and CoD3 are already on 360.

So again, "resistance box"
