I think what he's trying to say is that North America got the PS3 cheaper than in the rest of Europe including the UK ($840/£425). Seriously though he should have re-phrased what he wanted to say in the first place.

LMAO WOW can they shoot themselves in the foot anymore. Ya good move on bashing the biggest market area. America buys more games then anywhere. I am not saying any area is better I will not make stupid remarks like Sony does but America is the biggest buyer of games so to insult Americans is huge marketing mistake

P.S. Please lets not turn this into America Vs. UK. there is good and bad in both areas.

Great way to make potential customers happy. Insult them and call them cheap. Sony's team has been doing a cracker Jack job lately.

I was surprised on the article that Sony Manager did really said that as Americans are big but cheap. I did not purchase the PS3 not because I'm cheap but because for it's price, I can buy a Wii60.

That should be the new phrase on SW. From that Snoop song but change it to "Flopping like it's hot" or "flop it like it's hot" :p

Whether it's true or not, $600 for the PS3 isn't justified as of right now for most people. End of story.

Americans are cheap, and will sacrifice quality in the name of price.   There's a reason why Southwest Airlines, Walmart, McDonalds, and tons of other companies do so well in the US.

Everybody is complaining about the PS3 price, not just Americans. The Japanese whined incessantly about its high price tag, but Sony was nice enough to lower the price of the PS3 just before it launched there. If anything, the Japanese are the ones who complained the most. Sony responded.

Um.....people need to spend more on other things, college is getting ridiculously expensive, rent is too, etc. How many people have 600 bucks to spend on a console. Typically, Sony. They never learn from their mistakes, they blame people.
