Korea is filled with hermits. They have a crap load of PC cafes. Plus its already discussed here:

TC you forgot this part

Sometimes a picture tells a thousand words. Sometimes it doesn't. Today in Korea, the PS3 launches. The country is getting the 80GB version of Sony's new console. There's a big PS3 event in Seoul, complete with a stage show! Customers can pick up their new console and listen to people talk. It's late morning now in Korea, and the PS3 is hours away from launch. Doesn't seem to be much excitement in the air now. Though, there are a few hours left, so the masses could still come flooding in

Quit posting this crap. That timer on the left is minutes to the event. All we're seeing here are pictures of people starting to show up to a PS event over 4 hours before it starts. There's another picture you failed to post where there's still an hour left and the place is half full.

Wrong the ps3 sells really well in Europe and just helped resistance past the 2million copies mark even thouh just the other day it was 1.3 million. ( thanks church of England). THe 360 sell teh worst in Europe.

Oh and by the way the U.k. launch was just as crowded iit all depends on who buys the stuff not who goes to the party.

Yeah, and now the PS3 is selling the least in Europe.

Can we get some linkage to European sales? We have a lot of people throwing "facts" around. And my post was pointing out that just because there are only a few people there now doesn't mean the console won't sell well at launch. 650k in Europe the first week isn't to shabby. The launch sites were pretty slim there too. I never said anything like the sales would be huge just that pictures aren't a fair representation. So you can stop trying to make the PS3 look bad with sales "now" and stick to the topic Upswing.

My bad. Yeah, that's not that great. I guess we'll see how the launch did later.

1. Korea = PC gaming country. Consoles are looked down upon.

2. No one would have shown up if it was a 360 launch.

There isn't much love between Chine, Japan, and the Koreas so you are right sir. Koreans neither flat out hate or love the Japanese.
