Sony is dominating Turkey, MS is still sleeping...

I can see that people know only name of Playstation still buy PS2 and PS3 ,

When you say: " Do you know Xbox ? " They respond: " Whatta *** is xbox? "

PS2 is 250$ and PS3 is incredibly 1300$ in Turkey. (Because of extremely high taxes)

Microsoft still doesnt thinking of here. Xbox1 didnt come to Turkey officially. And Xbox360 is not here officially too.

Although Xbox360 is not officially here , You can find 3rd party Xbox360 services that can fix every problem of the console. (including 3 red lights of death)

 I'am very worried about people that pays for PS3 : 1300$ and 150$ for each game (yes 150$)

And What are they buying? NBA 2k7 , Marvel UA,

So The Games are all 2nd Class and they are the last ones we think to buy for Xbox360.

Microsoft is still sending Xbox360's to India and just like other countries , and sales fail: 30K sales.

 Please Microsoft Bring Xbox 360 Elite to Turkey . (A rumor says that 2008 is that date Xbox name is officially here.)

Ouside of America and Japan, most of the rest of the world has to pay higher prices on games. Even in the UK a new game is roughly £40, $80. 

From personal experience (I'm turkish, born and raised in the USA but have spent many summers in turkey and lived there for over a year) Turkey is still far behind in the video games area. I figure another 5 years till Turkey catches up to the western and asian markets. Seems to me like PC gaming is growing fiercly over there so Xbox is bound to follow. 

Unless you are talking about Thanksgiving dinner wake me when I care about Turkey.

Sovereign Symphony follow up this game. (GameTrailers.com)

It is the first Turkish game that has a foreign publisher. (And Supports Ageia PhysX)

I hope this game change something. (Céidot Studios has only around 10 people for game developing)

And Marketing is improving, but Microsoft is still denying to bring Zune And Xbox devices to Turkey.

I suggest you buy off ebay.com my turkish friend, premium bundles can be had for300 or less. Throw in Fed Ex and you should get it plus some games and shipping for not too much more than 400 USD. Beats paying 950 USD for an elite !

yeh i went to turkey a few months ago, ds lite was actually 400 bucks.. i couldnt believe it, here in aus its about 200. I also took my xbox1 there, and my cousins loved it. So yeh MS do something.

Unless you are talking about Thanksgiving dinner wake me when I care about Turkey.

You cared enough to enter a thread and post in it. :|

Next time the backspace button would be more appropriate. 

yuna707 ;

Yes , i prefer online sites for console accessories & games. (ebay , amazon , play-asia etc...)

Many people afraid of online shopping (Credit Card infos are Being stolen every minute)

But i believe that there wouldnt be trouble when you choose trustworthy shopping sites, and the trustworthy seller too.

That's nobody's business but the Turks.....

0=The amount of people in Sw who gives damn about Turkey(The country not the animal,Mmmmm turkey).

Only U.S and Japan count.Canada,Uk,Kuwait and Turkey can go to hell.

turkey is not a country with good economy hence such gigantic number of turks living in germany and on other countries.

there's not that many companies that have launched their products officially in turkey that is another reason why it so expensive. 

Sony concentrates more on Rest of World region than MS does. It has a bigger brand name and presence, you only have to look at things like sponsorship of Uefa Champions League (Football) to see that.Hoobinator

Other way around. Usually MS has a much better worldwide system in place.

Not to mention, I think they're officially in more countries.

I think these guys are French...I dont know exactly...

On topic Turkey is doing quite some progress from the nationalistic totalitarian regime of the generals towards a more democracisied country...

However there are quite far from being a truly democratic society...

I bet not too many PS3s sold with that price. I would get a good PC instead.

 I mean , nobody cares Xbox there and some of other countries. I'am not scorning any country including India.

Turkey is one of the biggest tecnology show center. Sony's sold millons of Ps2's here and keep selling now. 

Microsoft is still sleeping. Thank you very much.

I would like to donate my 360 to Turkey, whats the address?Fruity_Fantasy

Address: Microsoft Corp. Turkey

I doubt they even see a Xbox360 in their life.

There are a lot of Xbox360's here unofficially. I MEAN THEY SHOULD HAVE COME OFFICIALLY.

Maybe Turkish people? Why is everyone so self-centered on these boards?
