You keep saying "shipped"... Sony clarified their meaning, their sales numbers are based on what has been sold to customers, not shipped to stores. So stop saying "shipped" because Sony has said that their shipped numbers is (if the numbers are correct) the amount of PS3s in homes.Skippyj9

So please explain who Sony's numbers and NPD and Media Create's numbers are totally different.

...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?

Europe?

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.

How did this turn out?

They think europe is full of fanboys, its not. Just because they bought a ps2 before doesn't mean they will buy a ps3. I know a few people that have a 360 now, and I know a few people peed off about the price.OGTiago

Only people like you belive that the PS3 is not selling, because you don't look for your self you just beleave what the fanboys say and any romor that comes your way.marvelfan

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?

EDIT: 3333rd post.

Given that stores throughout the UK are warning people off the PS3, success is far from guaranteed.DilutedDante

as if any store is going to warn people about buying there stock, seriously thats a pretty dumb thing to say or believe

look forward to you eating your words, you have to be pretty dense to think the PS3 wont sell given the succes of all there previous platforms here, i see no real reason why its not going to happen again well apart from plenty of foreginers telling me it wont of course:lol:

Yeah, we know what they like in Scandinavia...

The best system to hack, mod, and boot up those backups...

haha! Yeah. Now, I'm not saying that PS3 is a Nazi game console(even though it is) but Wii is a perfect console to hack.

The PS3 will sell well to begin with in the UK I would imagine because many people here simply have more money than sense, and what better to prove how much disposable income you have than a £400+ paper weight under you tv.  That said Sony's image or at least that of the Playstation brand has been seriously tarnished and the only thing saving it at all is the PS2 which is still impressing in its twilight years.

I just want a Wii, that is all.

PS3 I will get for sure, just for MGS4 and yes I have that money to spend, I got a 360 just for bioshock.

Except I will wait for a PS3 price drop first.

Nice generalization. I'm English, certainly not a chav, and don't hate Sony. I have a PS3 pre oredered actually, so don't post when you have no clue what you are talking about...

[QUOTE="Terami"]I've seen some negative press but none of it was with the tone I see here, if that makes sense. I agree, and I wouldn't speak for everyone, just the people I know who want one. Some of them have 360's as well and we've played on XBL together, so yeah, similar tastes... cakeorrdeath
