The ps3 did SOOOO well in europe. *56k, Go ride a kitebike.*

[QUOTE="Mudig"]What's with the lack of Germany pics? Cuz it did well there huh?Vojkan80001

You mean that famous country that doesn't allow games like Gears of War on their market? Yes Germany is cool. Europe is not judged by one or few countries, but overall where Sony did better than 360. Actually no one is buying 360 in Eu. Only 3 million sold for almost 2 years on market.

???? What are you smoking? :roll:

[QUOTE="michael098"][QUOTE="mushroomscout89"]Here's a big one folks. Note: This was France's HUGE ps3 launch. 1000 ps3's there. 50 PEOPLE SHOWED UP. Death2009

Again! That pic anc't be proven when it was taken, where it was taken or that it was even real! I want proof that was a France launch party and that it was in full swing AND that this pic is a real one from it!!!!!!

[QUOTE="the1stmoonfly"][QUOTE="Mudig"]Well excuse me for thinking Germany is Europe's biggest economy and the 3rd biggest in the world. I just thought they would matter you know. And there aren't any pics of the launch being posted here.Death2009

Wth? You do know that the most profitable gaming nations are the US, Japan, the UK and Germany in that order? You do know that one of the largest gaming conventions and the largest in Europe is the GC which is held in Leipzig, Germany? You do know that CryTek and their FarCry and Crysis are German?

Anyway, here's your pictures:

Rough translation of the highlited parts:

Disappointing PlayStation 3 launch in Munich...Two dozen consoles sold in the first few minutes although half of the consoles in stock did not leave shelves ...there were no real waiting lines

Summary: Saturn, on of the largest electronic stores in Germany, and the first to sell PS3s at midnight, sold aprox. 30 consoles, which was about half of the consoles they had. All in all rather disappointing.

"So you didn't know about PS3's record breakings sales in the UK?"

hmm, seem fake to me. hat i mean is it would be very easy for a lemming to take them pictures at 3 am when nobody when everyone had there ps3 and as home playing it. especially the edinborough 1, i do not believe that for a second.

Well hell. Sony could just act like everyone else and restrict production to make those shelves empty. It's funny, during the American launch, the Xbots all laughed because of limited supply. But now that the European launch has come with ample supply, they're a bunch of hypocrites because apparently, a lot of units is a big failure. Gotta love them lemkids.TekkenMaster606

Lmao The reason not many people showed up for the launched was because everybody had already preordered, why would they go stand in the cold when its getting delivered to their house? This thread is stupid and pointless.PS3OwnsYou

Nice german sites. Did you miss the numbers? The numbers disprove that site that is in a language I DON'T SPEAK!

FYI, All system sold better in France than in Germany, might wanna do a double take on your claim!

 ^^^Birmingham

 

 ^^^Sheffield

 

 Poland- "...security guards and staff outnumbered those picking up pre-orders".

 

This is just the beginning.

 

This is the truth, these photos were all taken by members of the UK:Resistance website. They have SOOO much more. All of them are pretty epic.

 

Long short short: No one came, no one cares, one of the cameramen was mistaken for a Sony Fanboy and egged by Nintendites.

No kidding aside, failure to sell out at launch means Sony may have saturated the Europe market at the current price point *already* - ouch. Launch sales are not indicative of future success. 

the media was turned out more at every event in the E.U.

sony lied about the launch numbers.no where sold out of its launch allocation!
