| volcatius said: Because Sony treated me, as a European customer, like shit. Whenever i was thinking about buying a PS3, Sony screwed me. We were the last to get the PS3. We were the ones who had to pay the most for it (€600/$800). We got a lousy 40GB without BC (and of course, we still paid the most: €400/$550). We were the garbage dump for the Sixaxis. We got laughable bundles (MGSIV with 40GB, no BC and a Sixaxis, compared to a US bundle 80GB, BC, Dual Shock 3 that was even cheaper). |
That's actually one of the main reasons I'm disliking Sony so much this gen. They've treated Europe like shit. You failed to mention that ON TOP of paying more for the console than any other of the main markets, we also were the only market to be delivered the gimped half-BC ps3. Only Japan and the States got the launch ps3's with both ps2's chips. Talk about total ripoff man.
Basically, the only reason the ps3 has survived has been because of the strong european sales - considering both that the euro has been very strong these years and that we got dumped the cheapest ps3's and that we were paying the most per console I wonder what % of revenue has come from the eurocontinent. And on top of all that, we still get the raw end of the deal (see the difference between the mgs4 bundles, for example).
Despicable.
