Its Official! 512,000 Ps3s were sold on Day-one!

[QUOTE="xxThyLordxx"]haters have been owned. lol. where are the haters, I would like to see how they will spin this.thinicer

Considering the fact that the PS3 has been available for sale via preorder for weeks now in Europe, 512 thousand is not that impressive a figure. The PS3 did not sell out and many expected that it would be. This represents the vast majority of Sony fanboys and early adopters who just can't wait to get their console.

There is still half of Europe's PS3 launch stock remaining, and I don't expect it to go as quickly.

[QUOTE="the-very-best"]VGCharts is hardly official but if their estimates are correct then good job Sony. That would be a much higher number than I expected.thinicer

I expected them to sell out. Afterall, Europe is supposed to be Sony's #1 territory.

You're one of the few. Most on SW expected it to flop at launch (even I did and I'm a Sony fan).

It's interesting that it didn't.

Nope, not a hater. Just a realist.

The rest of the week will not see the same kind of sales volume. Remember, this is the pent-up demand from Sony fanboys and electronics enthusiasts who have been eager to get the system for months. They are always going to be the first ones to buy the console, and Europeans have been able to pre-order a PS3, whenever they want and wherever they want, throughout Europe for a month now. All those pre-orders that have accumulated for that month's time, along with the few walk-ins, are now representating themselves today.

Whoa...now the PS3 is 100k shy of catching the doomed Dreamcast in the same timeframe. :lol:

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"][QUOTE="Spartan070"]That is pretty impressive, not Halo 2 one day sales impressive, but still impressive.:wink:Spartan070

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!

the haters are crying as we speak lol

I can't find your article. But here's one from the same source. It says that the PS3 launch was a flop.

Damage control. System wars voted vgcharts as the official source of sales until official numbers, so it stands.  

500,000 in 1 day is pretty darn good.crashintome202

In only 11 hours it is being reported that 512,000 Ps3's have been added to the worldwide ps3 tally from Europe alone.

Worldwide sales now stand at 2.67million, still trailing to the xbox360 at 9.6million, and the Wii at 6.03million.

 VGcharts is sold to consumers, MS is sold to retailers. More damage control.

To be more clear, I expected them to sell out in Europe months ago, but I stopped thinking that two weeks after preorders were made available.

yeah, that's priceless right there.:lol:

looks like the ps3 is on its way to victory. peace 360

Its launch. And that seems kinda bad for launch of an entire continent....Koolsen

So vgcharts came out with their own arbitary number?  That's what this 512,000 is based on?

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"][QUOTE="Spartan070"]That is pretty impressive, not Halo 2 one day sales impressive, but still impressive.:wink:Spartan070

Why do people love Halo so much?

I owned both Halo 1(Xbox and PC) , and Halo 2...and can't see why people get so excited about the game.

It's not because I'm a Hermit because I got my PC in late 05', while I had the my Xbox and Gamecube well before that.

To tell the truth, I am hard to impress... :D
