Why PS3 will rule Europe

(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...)                                                                                                                                                             LOL this is one of the funniest things i have ever read at gs. Saying something isn't selling because its selling to much is just to funny, doesn't make sence at all   :lol:                                                                                                                                  

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

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

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.

It won't win in Europe this year that's for sure. When the Xbox 360 was first released to limited amounts people saw it as a bad PR stunt and it took Microsoft months to recover from that. The console is doing well because it's had time to establish itself, the same can be true for the Wii to a lesser extent.

Also I think it's poor showing on Sony not to release the list of PS2/PS1 games that can run on the PS3 until launch day.

Wrong

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

Not true either. Only because someone in UK said that the PS3 games are cheaper there doesn't that mean it's cheaper in whole Europe. UK is just 50 million of the 710 million people living in Europe.

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

It's 1 million units for whole Europe. Wii is still selling out.

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

PS3 costs $950 in Sweden.

This is ridiculous. First off, America is still the richest country in the WHOLE world. We make the most money, we have the highest consumer benefits, companies always ship to us, and we have the least corrupt government (well, not maybe LEAST corrupt now that we have Bush running the US :)). I don't see how Europeans make more money that US citizens. princeofshapeir

For all you're lack of evidence or proof this reason still bugs me the most. How Resistance will sell in the UK remains to be seen, but I would hope that the fellas across the pond will not be stupuid enough to buy a game based on the voice acting.

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

 That's a logical fallacy. Things change; you cannot assume the Sony brand will always remain dominant because it has won two rounds in the past. When the first playstation launched, many assumed it would fail because Nintendo "always" won up until that point.

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

   I have a hard time believing that. Care to offer some proof?

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

   A lot of consoles being shipped is not a sign of victory. It takes a lot more than the first batch being sold to make a console the victor. In terms of world-wide sells, the wii is actually doing better (though that could possibly change).

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

   Europe is a pretty big place. Last time I checked, parts of it had significantly lower pay than America, while others are about the same. I'm sure some Europeans make more than some Americans, but such gaps can be found within any of the better-off nations. You seem to be thinking more specifically about England than Europe as a whole.

   I've seen plenty of American-made games fail within their own country. It will sell or fail because of other factors.

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

  Again, Sony's past success does not make them immune to future failures.

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

While the 60GB model is superior, it being the only model released will not make or break the system. Even if both models were released, those who wanted the 6GB one would merely wait until they could get one (which wouldn't be that long).

Theoretically, but the lack of a cheaper entry also possibly harms sales.

As a resident of the UK I feel obliged to thwart your nonsensical arguments:

1. Complacency is not advised, nothing remains indefinitely. Firstly the DS is beating the PSP in terms of sales in the UK, secondly you would be surprised at the amount of anti-PS3 anger in terms of inflated price, delays and botched backwards compatability. 'Hardcore' gamers who are the most likely prospect for the PS3 are up-in-arms over the latest abuse of the European fanbase.

2. The RRP for Wii games in the UK is £35, the 360 varies between £40-50 and the PS3 is the most expensive at a uniform £50. Complete and utter lies on your part.

3. I am unsure of the validity of that figure but I highly doubt 1 million PS3s will be coming to the UK alone at launch, if they do then they will certainly be stuck on shop shelves or in the warehouse for a considerable amount of time. You overestimate the long-term demand of the PS3, the early adopters will be 'hardcore' gamers, technophiles and those whipped up in the media hype and misinformation about the power of the machine and the benefits of Blu-Ray.

4.Whilst Europeans do earn more than Americans in general you have to realise the cost of living is higher and the price of the PS3 is grossly inflated, in the UK the price would amount to around $800.

5. Such a token feature is of no import whatsoever.

6. As I mentioned earlier many gamers are incensed by the sub-par backwards compatability in addition to other Euro-specific mistreatment. I presume those who buy a PS3 whilst unaware of this trickery will also be infuriated, many who bought a PS2, in the UK at least, did so for games such as DDR, Buzz or Singstar. When they realise that they may be unable to break-out these party games on the PS3 they will be sorely disappointed.

7. What is supply if there is no real demand to meet it? A 20GB model could take two routes, the same road as the Core 360 which is largely seen as watered-down and a waste of money or alternatively it could be seen as an affordable version of a ridiculously overpriced console.

Exactly. It's like saying "Nobody goes to that resturant anymore, it's too crowded."

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! 360 games range from £40-£50, Wii from £30-£40, and PS3 games cost the same or more as 360 games

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

The reason they're not selling is because there aren't any to buy. The demand's that high.

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

We have to pay $850 if you didn't know.

b) Every casual I know who has owned a PS2 is turning to the 360. They simply don't care for the PS3's hefty price tag.
