PS3 not very sought after in UK
This topic is locked from further discussion.
So the PS3 still hasnt sold out its pre-orders in the uk, even after a few days? i believe the wii was sold out in something like 8 minutes during pre-orders. I think sony may have some trouble aheadDarklayk
id suggest waiting and seeing before you write off the PS3 in the uk sony has far more units available at launch than the Wii or 360 ever did
also if you look at the topsellers on the gaming section of amazon.co.uk you will see the PS3 is second on the list after final fantasy 12 which has just been released here, the PS3 has been there for almost a week now fluctuating between no1 and no2 spots, meanwhile the wii is at 36 and the 360 is at 55
now im not saying that proof its gonna sell loads but if you choose to use an argument like pre-orders not selling out as evidence of a lack of interest in the PS3 then id suggest you look at what i just posted of real proof there is plenty of interest, it might be limited to one site but you cant deny that the bestsellers list doesnt kill your argument
A link would be nice, just to prove you're not trolling.pretzelmeister

link? all i am saying is, wii sold out in 8 minutes in the uk. The ps3 is still plentifull. thats not a good sign. nobody wants it. Anybody buying a ps3 in the uk right now must be a mad man. Ridiculous price, rubbish Backwards compatability (the no. 1 selling point for chavs with ps2's ) it has a very low standard in the community at the moment. Obviously Sony arent going to go bankrupt but seriously , who would buy a PS3 over and xbox 360 and wii combo. The 360 has better graphics and the wii is insane amounts of fun and has better motion control[QUOTE="chrisoff_1"][QUOTE="Darklayk"]So the PS3 still hasnt sold out its pre-orders in the uk, even after a few days? i believe the wii was sold out in something like 8 minutes during pre-orders.

well your speculating as much as me here. as you dont know how many units the ps3 is shipping either. And seeing as the new ps3 has different specs for the USA and *** version i am presuming they have a very low quantity available for launch. either way, i think we can quite safely say that the interest in no where near the same as the wii.SONY needs to cut the price in half if they wanna target the casual market. Now they're just targeting the hardcore gamers.SuzumeCakeNot gonna happen. They confirmed that they have no plans for a price cut for another 2 years.

[QUOTE="SuzumeCake"]SONY needs to cut the price in half if they wanna target the casual market. Now they're just targeting the hardcore gamers.Nex_OwnageNot gonna happen. They confirmed that they have no plans for a price cut for another 2 years. It looks like I'll be getting a PS3 in 2 years. The only thing that would make me drop the bones for a PS3 was if Rockstar made another Thrasher game. I would buy the PS3 and Thrasher the day the game came out but since the game will sadly never have a sequel, the PS3 is on layaway for another couple of years.

well yes i can, and have, unlike sony drones i have free will to speculate using factual evidence. For crying out loud the PS3 is 2nd in the amazon list....2nd!!!! have you any idea how long the wii was at no.1 for ? 8 weeks, and it would still be there if they actually had any stock to sell. please dont be like these guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYecfV3ubP8A link would be nice, just to prove you're not trolling.pretzelmeisterI dunno if I can only see it cause I use gamespot UK but there is a front page article written by UK/Australia staff and one of them confirms the pre orders ain't sold out yet. I still see shops taking pre orders infact.
But if you mean the Wii in 8 minutes thing then don't believe that. I had weeks to pre order one in the UK.

amazon sold out in 8 minutes and play.com took 10000 pre oders in 15 minutes (only a small proportion of which they could actually supply (idiots))[QUOTE="pretzelmeister"]A link would be nice, just to prove you're not trolling.cakeorrdeath

That's called covering your own ass incase things don't go as expected. If they had filled their quota they woul d have stopped preordeers.

Uh, no they wouldnt. Game for example (here in spain) has still wii pre-orders without fullfill. Most of shops just want as many sales as possible. Gamestop spain follows the same method, dont know about uk.

sorry but this isnt proof i dont know why you keep saying it is??just because places still have PS3's to buy is somehow proof of a lack of interest?......a lack of interest doesnt get a console onto amazons bestsellers weeks before launch.....it goes competely against what your saying and im more inclined to believe that than a fanboys theory after all amazon is about the only place were you can guage how the PS3 is doing in relation to other consoles in the EU right now. There was also a report about a month ago from woolworths saying the PS3 has had the highest number of pre-orders of any of the new consoles........so i got woolworths and amazon VS your opinion.......hmmm little interest indeed:roll:
and a link to said article http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/a42660/playstation-3-enjoys-record-pre-orders.html?rss
So the PS3 still hasnt sold out its pre-orders in the uk, even after a few days? i believe the wii was sold out in something like 8 minutes during pre-orders. I think sony may have some trouble aheadDarklayk
Wow another person who has checked every single store!!
Link please!!!

you guys, well how about this for a link from your very own beloved gamespot "Stores are being upbeat about the preorders, which remain conspicuously open some two weeks after they were first announced. The Nintendo Wii sold out in minutes when preorders opened back in November here, and there were similar situations with the 360 and the PS2. Without knowing exactly how many consoles have been made available for preorder, it's difficult to say whether the fact that they're still being taken is a sign that Sony has done a fantastic job of making supply meet demand, or whether they're still open because, well, nobody wants one." http://www.gamespot.com/features/6166437/index.html?tag=topslot;title;1 oh dear, i think we can safely say that sony wont be shipping a whole lot, they want to create fake demand as with the ps2, and they cant even do that. On top of that they are shipping new versions of the PS3 to europe so cant ship the huge left overs from the USA Seriously stop defending sony , it makes you seem about 12[QUOTE="Ericvon71"][QUOTE="Darklayk"]So the PS3 still hasnt sold out its pre-orders in the uk, even after a few days? i believe the wii was sold out in something like 8 minutes during pre-orders.

Dude, ok, whatever float your boat. You're right, play.com, amazon and woolworths are lying, because they're all bribed by sony. Noone have actually bough one.And not selling 1 million consoles in a single day is a total dissaster. sigh /sarcasmSo the PS3 still hasnt sold out its pre-orders in the uk, even after a few days? i believe the wii was sold out in something like 8 minutes during pre-orders.

This thread doesn't have any facts or links or anything, but what I know is that if I was living in England right now and I heard all the BS Sony is doing over there then I wouldn't be caught dead buying a PS3.cheezisgoooood
but tbh im more than happy with my wii^_^
There are going to be over 100 units per store. Thats alot of pre-orders to fill.
