Once, upon a time the Sega DreamCast was the fastest selling console of all time. Launch records don't really mean anything but short term success. Its market share staying power that makes or breaks a product.

I'm not making fun of Portugal, just making fun of TC. He acts like Portugal is one of the deciding factors in the console war.

PS3's aren't selling at all where I live (Netherlands).

I got to play it yesterday at one of the biggest game stores. They had sold 70% of their PS3's. However, the X360 was sold out completely on launch day and further supply of the system was also immediately sold on the same day they received them for 3/4 years. And they still don't have any Wii's in stock. I heard from other people in my country it's the same at the places where they live. So it's not doing good at all over here.

That's a full lie. I've just passed through Toys'r'us and counted 12 PS3. I'm from Lisbon and I see PS3 stocks everywhere. In the rest of the country it's even more ridiculous. Plus, we're a small country, where PSP sells more than DS (unfurtunatelly), how would that reflect the success in ALL Europe?

12 uh? and you say its the same in the rest of our country? hmmm, i assume Portugal didnt get many PS3 at launch to be sold, so if what you say is true, then yeah...wow the PS3 flopped here in Portugal just like it did in France (i  think it was France, correct me if i'm wrong)

all these figures are inflated marketing tools to make people believe that the console is worth buying and is running out fast. wait until the quarterly reports come out.

What they meant to say was they shipped 90% of their estimate going to the country. As to how many were bought...

This is really bad for sony. Man Another country where they fail to sell out. How long can they keep this up before they pull the plug on the PS3. This is really bad. Less competition means higher prices. Come on Sony, put your back into it and get that 100% sell out for crying out loud. This has really got me worried. Thanks TC for pointing out the imminent danger of the playstation brand dying.

The TC should have said that those 90% are from Sony Portugal itself. And that Pedro Almeida is a joke, he said in an interview in the launch day, that PS3 in one week will sell more than ALL Wiis and X360 together LOL!!! Wii was totally sold out until some weeks ago, and X360 is in market for more than 1 year.

 

It's just a marketing strategy for dumb and blind people.
