in UK you have to pay $150 in order to pre-order.
amazon FRANCE sold around 2k ps3s at LAUNCH.
www.amaon.co.fr
so the LAUNCH event doesnt convey the right message.
around 500k ps3s are already sold which surpasses what x360/Wii sold in a whole launch week period(350k)
If you have to pay $150 to pre-order I would anticipate that scalpers would wait until morning (when the stores are not crowded) to walk up, pay for their system and then return it ...
Anyways, do you have a source for your numbers? I remember seeing every PS3 fan claiming that 400,000 PS3s were sold on launch day in North America and later we found out that Sony only shipped 200,000 ...
