Yep I think Sony planned on selling less, that's exactly what I said........ I believe there are multiple factors that come into play when deciding where/when to launch. One possible big factor is software, look at the PS2 launch lineup in March 2000. Japanese launch: March 4, 2000
That's not a very western focused lineup, now let's late a look at the US launch lineup in October. U.S. launch: October 26, 2000
Its full of guns, sports and cars which Americans love. Could lack of western focused software in Spring/Summer be a good reason to hold off on releasing a console until Fall in the west? I think it's a very good reason. |
So help us out. The SW Sony have in place to PS2 launch wouldn't push sales on the West, but if they had decided to launch in West the games would be available or they wouldn't sell much more than what they had being just in Japan? You need to pick one horse. It either would or wouldn't impact sales majorly having WW launch.
