Not to be rude, but be honest. Since the outlawing of the slave trade, which the Dutch started, when have the Dutch been a world player.BosoxJoe5

awww man, u were doing so good until you had to bring us Americans in it.

I have no problem with The Netherlands, but USA has alot of great things about it, and keep in mind we had a big hand in liberating The Netherlands in WWII.

Soccer just isn't that big in the USA at this time. We still have 4 major sports that are bigger.

On topic: The PS3 will continue to flop until the price drops and/or they get more big exclusives.

by this logic I could have bought a ps3 here in nz a month ago since there were ps3 boxes, what reatailer would leave ps3s sitting there waiting to be taken?imprezawrx500

Well, europe is a big place. Ps3 sold 300K in UK alone just in the 1st day, 500K in EU out of ~700K. In some countries it's selling better than others. http://www.vgcharts.org/forum/thread.php?id=871&start=150#endlordxymor

and the 360 flopped in japanR-Dot-Yung

But the PS3 flopped EVERYWHERE.

Well, until like 1994, Rotterdam was the busiest port in the world, until it was passed by Shanghai, and is now the busiest in Europe. 

that guys looks like he was a ps3 but he is like damn thats expensive.

  Which ironically enough we doan't dominate baseball or basketball any more=/ and hockey has always been really competitve..  Football is the only sport that we hold the forefront on, and that has more to do that its not popular what so ever in other places.. Granted Canada and Europe have leagues, theya re no where near the populartiy of other sports.

There are like 600 people in the Netherlands. Who cares when it's selling out rapidly in the big countries?Timstuff

Baseball- The amount of talent that is attracted to America via the major leagues is far more than any country can warrant.  I don't really care if Manny is dominican, he became a superstar because he played baseball in the US.  He got where he is because he came to the US.  There isn't a foreign player who can do what Barry Bonds has done, or what Griffey would have done had he not gotten hurt every time he stepped on the field for the past five years.  There are plenty of talented foreign players, I will definitely admit.  But baseball is a game such that it is VERY easy for the better team to lose.  Any team can win on a good day. 

Basketball- The US players simply don't care to win any more.  There isn't a presence in the NBA that makes it their personal agenda to obliterate the competition night-in and night-out.  Jordan is gone.  Bird is gone.  Magic is gone.  Now they're left with a bunch of supremely talent athletes that play for the paycheck.  However, I do think that Dwayne Wade and Amare Stoudemire will change things.

And if you want to talk about pure athleticism, just watch the track and field events in the olympics.

Anyways, this is a gaming forum.

Well,as you can see there are plenty of PS3's in the Netherlands. Most stores thought that it would be a xbox like hype wich was sold out for monts in the Netherlands. Well, I thinkthat the 360 has won (in thr Netherlands).

 

BTW that guy is me!!! LOL

Update:another pic for the disbelievers,another big retailer

Dude, who are you trying to fool. I seen this picture months ago. This is not from the Netherlands. You're a liar. I see you're scared about PS3 succeeding, otherwise you would just let it go and stop it with these failure threads. 360 flopped in Europre alltoghter and its been out for over a year with no compeitition. Yet it sold a little more than 3 million there.

[QUOTE="R-Dot-Yung"]and the 360 flopped in japanWilly105

No it didn't, how did it flop? Because its sales have not caught up to 360s after just 4 months of release in 2 regions and 2 days release in another region. No PS3 didn't flop, your post did.

Holland has legal weed, in USA you will be arrested.0757691

Sometimes I wonder just why there are so many idiots out there who think that legal marijauna is a good thing... But then I remember that they're SMOKING it, and are obviously missing a few brain cells as a result. I'm taking Psychology 101 this semester, so I've seen how that poison destroys people's minds. I also had an ex-co-worker who used the stuff, and he was a complete moron who I estimate had the IQ of a chimpanzee. So I laugh at the ignoramouses who act all high (lol) and mighty when they talk about how great a country is for letting people destroy their brains. Maybe America's stricter drug laws are why we're so much further ahead than so many other countries. You need healthy minds to construct a solid society.

If a teacher incidently goes on a Porn site they will not get 40 years in prison here just like in the USA. Sorry but Holland>USA.0757691

So, you're bragging that not only does your country have loads of brain dead druggies, but pedos as well? Holland is notorious with Americans for having rampant pedophilia, and it's a popular place for American sex criminals like child pornographers to take refuge. That's hardly something to be proud of.

This pic are fake. You se the price tag 599 in the netherlands it cost 800. Nice try

Well, we American gamers, have no life. We camped out for days in line for a PS3. We actually worship Sony and kiss their asses. We even defend our Sony brand loyalty. No one can say bad thing about Sony. This goes to show that we Americans need to go outside more than staying indoor and become a couch potatoe.dsgamer1

599 Euro = 797.8081 U.S. dollars (according Google's currency converter).

To the guys saying 'the picture is fake cause in Europe it costs 800':

Are you complete idiots? Do you believe that European countries use USD as their currency?

I'm flabbergasted by the lack of knowledge some people have. There's no excuse for not knowing a simple fact like that (unless you are 6 years or younger).

great. you shouldn't be talking about being "high and mighty" when over half of your country are hooked on pharmaceutical drugs instead, you guys take pills for everything and with bigger sideffects.

you can clearly see the price says 599,-

Europe uses commas where America uses decimal points.  The price in the EU countries that uses the Euro is 599 Euros.  The conversion of Euros to US dollars gives you close to $800.

OK so what's you're take on alcohol? i hope it's the same if you don't wanner sound like a hypocrite.

I'm all fore banning hard drugs, but if you're gonna have alcohol being legal i can't see why you should not make marijuana legal except that 3 world countries would flourish

Sony meet the demand of first wave hardcore gamers, then it's time for those casuals to be able to walk in and get one, that's good

thank for the good news

Whoop de do, which in the end is more important, PS3 supposedly flopping in the Netherlands or the X360 flopping in Japan?

I don't think anyone expected the 360 to sell well in Japan after the original Xbox, however the PS3 was supposed to take Europe by storm.

 uhuh, I am a dutch too. And this is Media Markt and I have SEEN THE SAME. Do you think we are blind, do you think I am a PS3 hater? This is prove!!!

wow...that's pretty bad...

i don't think anyone in the EU wants the ps3.... :lol:

How desperate can you be to prove the ps3 a failure that you had to take a picture of yourself with p3 boxes making a wierd face. Besides, you're not convincing anyone except the already 360's fans, or anyone who wants the ps3 to fail for that matter, it's just a picture showing ps3's boxes. Your fanboyism doesn't have limits.ElTioGamboin

Im from the Netherlands too, and although I havent seen this many PS3s lying around in stores (I havent been to any big electronic stores like Media Markt since the launch) I have seen quite some PS3s lying around on the shelves of some smaller toy stores.

It seems that a part of "Sony-Land" already imigrated.Can-o-Mark

PS3 didnt flop everywhere, it sold 165k out of 220k on launch here in the UK, and the Xbox360 on release sold out ... yea sold out of only 70k, doubled the Xbox360 sales? Yea because they had the common sense to send in more than the actual demand on launch day.

 Despite what some of you think, not everyone wants a Console on day 1, and that "Sold Out" on the 360 on launch day means nothing .. 70k lol ... what were they thinking, Wii on the otherhand, grats at thier success, like the DS cheap things always sell better. (In the DS case the games were better than the PSP, luckily liek the PS3 it has other uses in the waiting time for games)
