So..in other words:

Europe is getting the shaft,
Sony's trying to go head on with the Xbox360's earlier release and the excitement for the Nintendo Wii.
And Sony basicly handed Nintendo Japans Market.

Yep,They're fucked.

Yeah, I was getting ready to post this.

Weren't there 400k Xbox360's at launch here as well? But then again, when the 360 came out it's not like it had any other new console competition to deal with.


But man, only 100k in Japan? ouch.

[Bahamut]

Only 400k? Wow they fucked up.

Well, Sony said it was a privledge to be able to only pay $600 for a PS3, so now with less available units at launch it'll be even MORE of a priveledge. Thank you Sony for letting us have such a great privledge! We truly are not worthy.

Wow. So, you mean the esteemed Sony, who went on record as saying they'd have 2 million units at launch, short of anything but a natural disaster or a manufacturing plant blowing up, has just handed the crown back to Nintendo, on a platinum platter?

Not only is Sony not going to be in the EU for another 5 months, Nintendo is going to be there, and will have FOUR times as many units available at launch, plus another 2 million units by the end of the year, and Sony will be lucky to break 1 million units in total, by then.

So.. anyone up for Metroid Prime 3? ;)

So, more copies of the FF3 remake were sold in the first week than the number of PS3's Sony will have available at launch...

Ebay ftw.

[Gruntguy]

Haha, sony is screwed.

$600 for one system, or $600 for TWO systems?

Hm...can I use a lifeline?

You know, as laughable as that Tokyo Drift movie is, one line does come to mind over this. I don't know if I have the quote exact, but it goes something like this.

"For want of a nail, a horseshoe was lost. For want of a horseshoe, a horse was lost. For want of a horse, a message was undelivered. For want of a message, a war was lost."

It isn't the big, bad, expensive Cell processor that may well spell the death of Sony as a company, but rather a cheap, $3-5 blue laser diode. Go fig. :P

If this keeps up, the terrorists will win!

[Doulifée]

i'm ready to own a ps3 if sony pay me 600$ for that privilege.

I think in the end the "victor" will be a result of the quality of games. Not just Grafix, or Production values, aviabality or gameplay but a balance of all.

Which is most likely why the ps2 was awsome. GCN was fun but the games were few and far between. This gen It appears that Sony & and Microsoft, are becoming so bent on outdoing each other. This will be their down fall.

However it looks like Nintendo is only making their games fun. but there still attractive, no doubt there is going to be plenty of wii for all, and of course gameplay is obvious.

But their fight will be thier downfall.
