You mean PS3 being the most succesful launch out of the big 3 is a flop? I do not hate MSFT but your logic is lacking.

That's what I meant. I would'nt be commenting on irrelevant territories, when in the thread title it clearly states this is about the France or EUROPEAN launch. Know what I mean now?

That's why, in my post that you quoted, I said France or EUR launch. Don't get all capitally upset with you upped letters. And did it really flop in France (?), which BTW , is in EUR.

you stole that sig from a guy on neogaf.

As for ps3 selling themost ever in the UK.... why not tell us now many Wii's got shipped to the UK for launch? Probably less than the number of p3s's that were sold. Check back in 3 months and then look how well its selling. If Wii had 500k available in the UK it would have sold 500k.

It was not on that forum and all I wanted to do was share it with the GS community. And you are probably right about you Wii argument but why argue about what could have been and not concede to the actual sales that were registered.

call me what you will, but u know that if sony pulled a move like this there would be countless threads about how sony and all the cows are immature. I just doesnt show alot of maturity to try and sabotage another companies event. Its like the politician who wins an election due to his opponents faults and not due to his own strengths. MS should be working on making the X360 a more reliable console instead of bashing the competition.

Um, yes they are. MS is not like Sony. They don't underestimate the competition. By the way, Sony downplays the 360 all the time.

Sony already pulled a move like this....calling the 360, Xbox 1.5. It's business. Sony is the king of immature moves like that.
