PS3 breaks UK launch sales records? Big Deal.

This is funny because it's not surprising considering they launched 4 months later and had plenty of supply. The Wii and 360 would have had the same kind of launch if they had an overabundence of systems shipped to the stores. What would have been amazing would be if they sold out on launch day. The real test is going come withen the next few months after all the early adopters have bought the PS3 and the casuals have thier turn to buy a next gen. system. 

alert! alert! there is damage that has been made! time to call in damage control!!

It just shows that europe launch wasn't a big flop like many claim.InfamousC

  Yeh they only gave out 100 free HDTV's ...

  And yep in England + Australia PS3 sales for Friday / Saturday / most sunday = approx 190,000 ...
    not bad considering thats a little over 75% stock sold over the weekend ...

 

I'd love a free HDTV. What's wrong with that?MC2K8

If i had've known about the HDTV give away i would'be bought a PS3 myself just for the HDTV and ebayed the PS3 :D

P.S: Nothing against the PS3, i just dont need/want one right now.

Why would people just STOP buying PS3???????

Its as if you're suggesting that of about 44Million EU who bought PS2 only 200K will buy PS2. Even by Price elasticity with the price about 2twice that of PS2. PS3 should be able to sell 22Million

This is funny

 It sure is. I laugh every time an Xbox fanboy gets proven wrong and has to make an excuse. Needless to say, I laugh a lot when I read SW.

I understand that you are arguing but 2 days or so ago ppl here were like ''lol only 2 ppl in line for PS3, flop'' and such.tegovoltio

 Two days ago? Try about six hours ago. Lemmings. :lol:

Misread it a bit, I thought it meant Europe sales were 165k. Still nothing to brag about considering they did not sell out and still sold less than the PSP did at launch which is doing so well atm. 75% launch sales is crappy.

The PSP sold 185k at launch in the UK, smashing the DS's record of 87k! Teh DS is teh doomed. And no I dont pretend to know how well the PSP is doing in the UK, but I can tell you that the overall sales for the PSP are lagging pretty far behind what everyone predicted them to be.

 By my logic? 220k Is not exactly the motherload, the PS3 europe launch has been talked up to be the second coming of Christ and the sales were less than spectacular, 165k sales isnt bad but I expected it to sell out.

for 59 million people 220k is quite alot considering they had about the same amount for the NA launch which we have nearly 300 million people in the US alone.
