It is funny because Sony could have easily undershipped the PS3 to only about 400k units and claimed a mass sellout, instead they shipped 1 million so that everyone who wants one can get it and then they have units in stores for people to buy when they feel ready...they made a good choice.

[QUOTE="InfamousC"][QUOTE="tango90101"]

don't blame me.. it was sony bragging about their userbase as well as the cows...

yet, 99% of their userbase has apparently turned their backs on sony...

i'd wait until sony officially reports numbers before i'd get excited, if i were you.

they have a history of lying...;)

How has the user base turned its back on sony? Most people bought ps2s after price drops. You expect everyone who bought a ps2 to go out and buy a ps3 on launch day? Sorry it doesn't work that way buddy. Your logic fails on so many levels.

sorry, but that's not what sony was saying nor the cows....

tell them...

so far sony has penetrated 1% of its own market.  when it changes, we can revisit the issue, but now it stands...

ps3 = flop

so if they sold 10 million in 4 months(only 10%) is it a flop? i cant comprehend what you are saying because it is so stupid, no offense but it really is no way Sony can get close to even 20-30 million until 1.5 years from now...

[QUOTE="PSP107"]is this good or bad?rocklegacy2

600k out of "100 million loyal sony customers" is HORRIBLE...

 

It a very sad day for lemmings.. they try to spin this off like its bad when its not..this  is so pathetic..lol..accept ownage and move along..

so far sony has failed to penetrate the other 99% of its market...

yes, Horrible....;)

If you go by that logic, than the 360 has only penetrated 50% of its predecesor's fanbase...

precisely... which is a HUGE success by any measure...

1%?  not so much...:lol:

Considering the short amount of time it has been out, price, lack of killer-apps and bad press, I'd say that is a great achievement. I mean, it broke records. It sold alot more than the 360 did at this time last year, and it was a worldwide launch.

That's because there weren't any 360's to sell.

These numbers should not be downplayed, 600,000 consoles sold in less than a week stacks up very favorably when you consider that Microsoft only sold 390,000 Xbox 360 consoles in its first two months of retail in Europe.

600k sold to retailers, with them reporting less than 60% sold.

otherwise, there is NO way for anyone to have accurate sell through this early...

sorry, hated to dash your dream....;)

As it is, I think Americans have a difficult time understanding the brand power and name recognition of Sony in Europe. If one has ever ventured to London or Berlin or Rome or Paris or Madrid, they would understand that over there, video games = 'playstation.'

if the 360 and wii had as many available upon release as the ps3, the sale numbers would have been much higher than that.shoeman12
They fail to mention that the Wii and 360 sold out for months, while the PS3 has a surplus before selling even a million.

EU retailers had to pay for their stock. so 600k sold to retailers, not to consumers.

[QUOTE="PSP107"]is this good or bad?SoulKillah
This is great! Ps3 is the fastest selling console in Europe right now,surpassing the Wii and 360 in sales:D

 but the fact that they still have 400,000 consoles isn't that good really, considering both the xbox 360 and wii launches completely sold out.

Better than the transition from PSone to PS2. Soo....you fail...considering how they outsold both Wii and 360 combined and mulitiplied in Europe.

They sold out but had far less to sell i the first place. Think about what you just said very carefully...they have already outsold the comp...every sale from here on out will be a lead.
