Why PS3 will rule Europe

1. Sony consoles ALWAYS sell best in Europe. In UK PSP is beating DS, and Europe bought the most PS2s, more than US

3. 1 million PS3s are being shipped to the UK alone on launch day. A reason Wii sales are starting to dwindle is because people are fed up with waiting to get one, this will not be the case with PS3, it will be easy to get, attracting casuals

4. On average Europeans earn more money than Americans, so $600 seems like nothing to them

5. RFoM is a Brittish game with Brittish voice acting. UK gamers will see this and will like the game

6. Seing as though most Europeans own a PS2 and PS1, they will not be put down by the slightly worst BC

7. Only the 60GB model will be available there, so Sony wont have to waste time making 2 kinds, meaning more supply.

1. Actually, no. The DS is selling more all over europe
2. As far as i know, wii games are also £40
3. Link to wii sales dwindling? And the price will sacre alot of people away
4. With the exchange, the ps3 is more expensive in europe
5. That won't make any difference
6. What about the people who never owned one? Or how about the people who sell their ps2's to afford a ps3?
7. The higher price of the model they are selling could hurt them quite a bit

  At the bold: Proof? Or is this just your speculation?

$800 bucks isn't alot of money to Europeans? Are the Europe I know the the Europe you know the same place?

No matter how you slice it, the ps3 is pricey.

(By the way, the image in my sig describes my sentiments pretty well)

BTW, I remember before the PS3 was launched, everyone was sayin, "Japan belongs to SONY, they will domiate there." Look what happened.Nagidar

1. Sony consoles ALWAYS sell best in Europe. In UK PSP is beating DS, and Europe bought the most PS2s, more than US   The ds in the u.k is absolutely raping the psp in sales, it was selling around 500k a week on the lead up to xmas and they were selling for £200 on ebay.

2. PS3 games are CHEAPER than 360 and Wii games in Europe, at only £40, while Wii games are £50 and 360 games are £60

wrong again, wii games are £39.99 and 360 games are £49.99

3. 1 million PS3s are being shipped to the UK alone on launch day. A reason Wii sales are starting to dwindle is because people are fed up with waiting to get one, this will not be the case with PS3, it will be easy to get, attracting casuals

That makes no sense whatsoever

4. On average Europeans earn more money than Americans, so $600 seems like nothing to them

The thing is that its over $1000 in the u.k

5. RFoM is a Brittish game with Brittish voice acting. UK gamers will see this and will like the game

ROFL that is stupidity at its greatest, it has brittish voices so they must like it

6. Seing as though most Europeans own a PS2 and PS1, they will not be put down by the slightly worst BC

Most europeans has a sega megadrive yet bought a ps1

7. Only the 60GB model will be available there, so Sony wont have to waste time making 2 kinds, meaning more supply.

They are also taking away important parts of the console and making it crapper because they are desperate to save money on the console because its failing miserably.

360 games are 50 pounds not 60 you nub.

Wii games are 40 not 50.

The rest is baseless speculation by an obvious Sony fanboy.

1. Sony consoles ALWAYS sell best in Europe. In UK PSP is beating DS, and Europe bought the most PS2s, more than US. Cant argue with that although it lacks links/Proof.

2. PS3 games are Exactly the same price except for a few first party games as 360 but not Wii games in the UK, at only £50, while Wii games are £40 and 360 games are £50

3. 1 million PS3s are being shipped to the UK alone on launch day. A reason Wii sales are starting to dwindle is because people are fed up with waiting to get one, this will not be the case with PS3, it will not be easy to get because it will be attracting casuals.  Again lacks fact.

4. On average Europeans earn more money than Americans, so $600 seems like nothing to them. You have your currency translations mixed up, were all on the dole one way or another. 

5. RFoM is a Brittish game with Brittish voice acting. UK gamers will see this and will like the game. Completely false 2000% Why would I think that? I think I speak for 99.99999%  of Britain when I say that.

6. Seeing as though most Europeans own a PS2 and PS1, they will not be put down by the slightly worse BC. Seriously who cares about BC???

7. Only the 60GB model will be available there, so Sony wont have to waste time making 2 kinds, meaning more COST to produce.

Europeans don't make more than Americans.  They also pay higher taxes.  The PS3 is more expensive in Europe than in America in both relative and absolute values.

1. psp may outsell ds in the united kingdom, but all of europe i don't think so. or for that matter the 17 million to 35 million gap.

2. If they're willing to pay the excessive ps3 price then game prices shouldn't matter

3. to say demand will go down coz demand is too high is stupid. if the demand is too high then that means it outweights supply and as long as it  does that then  well, it would be bigger than demand and thats all that matters. who cares what two impatient french men think?

4. true. europeans do make more money. don't they need licenses for every electronic appliance? isn't gaming in general looked more down upon there then here?

5. yes, games sell well and people buy systems coz of voice acting. no way.

6. won't alot of them trade in there old ps2's and ps1's for the ps3 and keep the non-compadible games? furthermore isn't buying it suppose to be replacing the latter two generations.

7. yes that 20 GB model is stupid. you can't even upgrade it.

Very true. I didnt care about the leap from buying £30 xbox and ps2 games to £50 360 games.

3. to say demand will go down coz demand is too high is stupid. if the demand is too high then that means it outweights supply and as long as it  does that then  well, it would be bigger than demand and thats all that matters. who cares what two impatient french men think?
Demand goes up, supply goes down = MASSIVE price + Guaranteed sales.

4. true. europeans do make more money. don't they need licenses for every electronic appliance? isn't gaming in general looked more down upon there then here?
The fact that GTA SA was made in Scotland?  America doesn't own the world you know.

Thats more like it

Im curious as to where you got this foolish bogus information from... the DS is raping the PSP worldwide Wii Games are actually cheapest at around £30. Whereas I've seen XBOX360 games for 49.99 and have heard PS3 will cost the same... the PS3 will be easy to get because noone will want it. All the casuals have, or want Wii's... Im from the UK, £450 is ALOT to me($600) a Fable game is being released for 360, british game with british voice acting. the other 2 points are void entirely, on account of them not making sense.Jondommy

1. Sony consoles ALWAYS sell best in Europe. In UK PSP is beating DS, and Europe bought the most PS2s, more than US

Kårstein: Europe is not just UK, and its very hard to get accurate figures for the entire continent of Europe. But I know here in Norway the DS is beating PSP. Just like America and Japan consumers can change their preferances for consoles, so can european consumers, as so many has said DS =/= Wii and PS2 =/= PS3

2. PS3 games are CHEAPER than 360 and Wii games in Europe, at only £40, while Wii games are £50 and 360 games are £60

Kårstein: Where have you gotten this information from? How can publishers reduce the price for PS3 so much compared to other regions and expect to make up the profit. If this was true it would actually be bad news for PS3, can you imagine how many more copies of a game you would need to sell to make a profit compared to making the game on 360? instead? Oh and I dont know the prices over at UK :P

3. 1 million PS3s are being shipped to the UK alone on launch day. A reason Wii sales are starting to dwindle is because people are fed up with waiting to get one, this will not be the case with PS3, it will be easy to get, attracting casuals

Kårstein: Havent seen any report on this, so please direct us to it. And remember again UK is not the same as the whole continet of Europe.

4. On average Europeans earn more money than Americans, so $600 seems like nothing to them

Kårstein: Yes we do, but our taxes are higher to. And since taxes on merchandise is calculated in percentage of the prise of the product then the prize-difference is even larger between PS3 and the others. Dont think that Europeans cant tell the difference in price please.

5. RFoM is a Brittish game with Brittish voice acting. UK gamers will see this and will like the game

Kårstein: I can safely say that UK, and the rest of Europe, dont really care much if the voice actors are british or not.

6. Seing as though most Europeans own a PS2 and PS1, they will not be put down by the slightly worst BC

Kårstein: We know we are getting ripped of, we just dont know by how much yet. But consumers who know they are getting ripped of is not happy consumers :evil:

7. Only the 60GB model will be available there, so Sony wont have to waste time making 2 kinds, meaning more supply.

Kårstein: Thats a very original way to spin that. Many gamers are angry because we have a higher prioce here and we dont even get the option to buy the less expensive one. Ad to the fact that HD-TV`s are WAY less common in Europe then in America so the 20GB one would suit us better then for America. And the fact that I have not seen any stores here in Bergen in Norway that sells HD-DVD- and Blu-Ray-players or movies for any of the format, then why would we buy it for the Blu-Ray player abilety? :?

PS3 was supposed to ship 1 million to the US too, and that fell apart. PS2 online was supposed to be like jakcing into the matrix. The PSP was supposed to conquer the market, and the DS was a cheap gimmick that wouldn't sell. The 360 was desinged to fight the PS2.The Wii is a Novelty, despite the fact it sells 2.5 times more than PS3.The PS3 can do 120FPS, dual screens, at 1080p, in 4D.

Sony has already confirmed they have shipped 1 million to Europe.
