PS3 launch in germany

Kamahl said: Some of you saying "X store has 20 units!", do you know how many did they get? Most of the stores say they got over 100 and big ones even more, in the worst case, 80 could have been sold which is pretty good.

According to heise (who said they had their numbers from Sony) the number of PS-3 released was 100.000! So we have a higher ceiling. The true sell numbers can only be lower than this. I would guess the stores I saw at Saturday have perhaps sold 50 to 70% of their consoles (otherwise you could not explain the general amout of PS-2 still available).. This would indicate an upper ceiling of 70.000 consoles sold. If it would stay this high it could become great, but is their really a reason to expect this. Normally you have a rush of people who want to get it, when it is released, no matter what. They went to the stores Friday at the most Saturday. They don't have a reason to wait. When I was at the media markt there were exactly two people with a PS-3. One who was probably a fanatic (PS-3 perhaps 10 games and 5 to 10 BluRay can't be described as normal, more as a PS-3 frenzy). And another guy who had to put his PS-3 back due to a quarrel with his wife/girlfriend.
