or at least in my country.

When I was walking in the shopping mall I noticed that every retailer that sells PS3 all had one same offer.

Buy a PS3 for 600 euro and get 2 games of your choice for free.

Now this move seems a ll bit desperate to me, what sony need to do is lower the price in EU not add games and have the same price

thoughts and fact are two different things. So tell me what console, besides the wii which is dominating everywhere, is currently outselling the ps3 in europe?

There will be a price cut in the next couple months. It's almost assured now. If I were living there I wouldn't touch PS3 until they do the 4th qtr price cut because you know it's coming.

I do not think it is that bad, the PS2 is strong in Europe the problem is that not many of those PS2 players are converting to 3 as there is still stuff on PS2. Once that development stops and people start seeing MGS4, FFX3, etc.. come out then they will switch. That is a big hurddle for Sony but one that I think they can overcome with the list of big games coming up. It is alittle slow now but it will soon change.

i think they are going to wait a few more months before they do a price drop in europe as the console launched there later then it did everywhere else in the world.

You might want to say what country you're from.Also, when the deal is an incentive deal through the manufacturer (Sony) it would apply to all retailers.

I know VGChartz numbers aren't the most accurate, but they have the Wii, DS, and PSP outselling it on a weekly basis. The 360 and PS3 are always about even, at the bottom of the pack.

I agree; 600 Euro is 828 US dollar. It's way too expensive.

Finland here. I don't remember seeing that 2 games -thing. But I haven't been to official gamestores lately. But what I have seen is billboards etc. everywhere with a list as to "Why buy a PS3". "Mind blowing graphics, blu-ray". And the others saying "We have PS3 in stock! Get it while you still can!". And PS3 is the only console that has no boxes on show. Why didn't the PS2 or Wii or X360 & co. get the same treatment, hmmm..?

It's the same thing here in my country Venezuela(South America) PS3 isn't selling good here as it costs 2500$, however I think the PS3 is bringing millions to SONY over in Japan so that's why SONY isn't THAT desperate...

lol qft but i meant consoles that are supposedly in this gens war (wii, 360, ps3), those are what I (notice the I there? that means me, not anyone else) consider this gen at least, if you take into account others then so be it, that's ur perspective.
