Apperently Sony fanboys think Europe is full of backwards idiots.

[QUOTE="cakeorrdeath"][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... sainraja

...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-forbidden>Yellow_Rose

^^^Um....yes it really has something to do about what you think. You think because the PS3 is doing mediocre in US, and JPN means that it will not do well in the UK. Sir you have been influenced by the media.

How much do you think the US and Japan share culturally besides baseball? Different cultures, languages, religion, cuisine, architecture, yet they are reacting similarly towards the PS3. How is it so irrational to think this could happen in the UK, which is so much more similar to the US than Japan is?

Well they certainly do watch TV, go on the internet, read press reports, etc. And they come across things like this when they do:

Do YOU read press reports and scan internet news articles, or do you simply sit on the Gamespot forums all day and post arguments like this?

If these are the same Sony fanboys that think that Americans are nothing but gun-loving rednecks, then yeah.shaggygrosser
