European Users: How well is PS3 selling in Europe?

thenixta said: Surely the same arguments applied to the US launch, yet we saw people lining for days to get one... I'm sure the PS3 will sell well here, it may even sell out or the buzz may increase during the day, I'm just pointing out the difference in launch hype between regions.

Well, according to some signs the hype will probably be over in a rather short period of time. Most people I know would wait for price dcuts before they even would consider to buy a PS-3 While the consoles were there with running games they were most of the time deserted. In fact the Xbox tended to attract more people, No, these are only small observations that might be a bit off. But in general there seem to be less people excited about the PS-3 games than people who want to use it under Linux and for BluRays. In fact, there was even a spiegel online article with exactly the same opinion: Well for games you should probably better buy a Xbox 360 but if yo0u want s small entertainment center for your living room the PS-3 might be usefull. How some other people already said: don't expect any sensible sale statsitics in the near future. Even Sony will probably have to wait three months, before they know how successful their launch really was!
