CE-Oh no he didn't! Part XV - Europeans "don't mind" waiting for Sony products

[ACID]

I normaly am the first in line with everything. I have a 360 used it ones and still dont mind having spend the money. I will definately get the WII but the PS3 i will wait to see sony is full of crap now days.

[Kramer]

The launch PS3's will most likely bomb out after a year anyway so it would be crazy to pay so much money for something that's going to die sooner or later.

wat a load of S#!T i cant belive this bollocks.
i was the first person in my city to preorder the PS3 even thought sony raised the price a little i still only am gona pay £415. but i have been thinkin stick it they dont care at all about us EU'ers so they can Get Tae Fuk

EDIT: just thought id have a look on sonys web sight. and i found out a valuable answer to my question.

this is bs they dont apreciate us european gamers because we buy their $hit anyway maybe we need to not buy their stuff to show em how wrong they are to belittle us I cant believe that "they dont mind" wtf generlize the whole eu and get the answer wrong sony is getting on my nerves big time.

Europe = bigger than america = shafted by every games company ever as they can only see Japan & america on their maps. I always dispute anyone saying Britain is european as we aint, we just share the same continent (but that dont make canada america does it?) but of course we get shafted along with the europeans as usual.
Dont mind the wait? this is another $ony 'next gen doesnt start till we say it does' or fanboy 'gaming started with the playstation' isnt it. Good thing I wasnt planning on getting one anyway untill maybe a few years have passed they become cheap second hand & theres games that look worthy of buying the system for.
Yes 'I' dont mind waiting (many will and may import) but not for $onys reasons and they wont be getting a penny from me as if I end up with one itll be second hand.

in general the european public dont bother looking at when things are coming out. They just see a poster and buy it. If it has sony slapped on it mums and dads of teenagers will buy it no matter what the companies done.

People who mind waiting are those who arent used to it. Us brits have to wait for everything. If i want something that badly ill import it, but as for the ps3 ill wait till march and my wii will have to see me through till then

Well you need to think of it like Sony is:

Japan is their home, they wouldn't DARE not release PS3 in Japan.

US is Microsoft's home, so that is their PRIME target. If Sony loses the US, they lose the console war, end of story.

Not to mention, manufacturing issues, but that doesn't give SCE Europe Asshole the right to play the role of ****ing retard and belittle his fellow Europeans.

Now, Sony could have easily waited until March to get the PS3 out for a worldwide release. But Sony would lose their home turf to Nintendo, the US market would have its swayers towards Nintendo, etc, etc.

I wouldn't mind waiting until March but then the PS3 may as well not even be released, by that point Sony would have lost so much market share that they would have no hope in recovering the losses.

But they won't recover from a boycott either, which, if you Europeans want change, is what you'll have to do, but that change wont come quick; maybe the next nextgen console from Sony will see a worldwide release. But money speaks louder than words.

What a bunch of pricks!!!
Way to alienate your customers Sony, keep on pushing that stock price down Sony!
Funny how groups become sooooo arrogant at the top,it's like the success of the PS2 turned sony into a bunch of asses.
At least you guy's might be able to avoid some of the bugs the first units will have.

We in the UK were told about a year ago, that the UK should expect a 2007 release for PS3.
Also, even if it were released here at same time as the US, it's far cheaper to get it imported anyway! (even after shipping and customs!)

I don't really mind waiting the extra few months... atleast they will fix the problem where it overheats and blows up your house!!

US is Microsoft's home, so that is their PRIME target. If Sony loses the US, they lose the console war, end of story.

hmm... so this problem is mostly Microsoft's fault! (Sony fanboy attempt to divert blame! )
If only IBM didn't loose the war against Microsoft, then the UK would be Japan's rival, and we'd be getting PS3's sooner!
