some observations pre-launch and launch-day from Munich:
- Wii is still sold out in most stores
- Playstation 3 stations have caused strong interrest before launch, crowds of interrested people
- PS3 has seen strong sales this morning (launch day), but supply meets demand so far. I'll check again when people leave work for the weekend.
Many people I know are strongly interrested in the PS3. Many people have waited for the Playstation, and have not bought a 360. Europe is the least price sensitive marked (Wii sells at US$ 312, Playstation at US$ 750), and Europe has not seen as strong sales of the 360 as the US. The market is there for Sony, and they have a strong software lineup. I think Playstation has a chance here, a chance to come in second after Wii.
Pretty sure they will beat xbox360 in the long run in EU, might catch Wii to.
Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
