| TheSource said: The quote was PAL which is defined differently by Sony from what Microsoft was saying earlier as "EMEA". Sony, as a Japanese company includes pretty much everything outside the Americas and Japan in PAL, but EMEA refers to Europe, Middle East, and Africa. Our definitions are a bit different: Americas - Canada to Argentina Japan - Japan Others - Everything else
All this posturing seems a bit irrelevant anyway. PS3 is going to destroy 360 in Europe long term (i.e. if Sony can drop price sometime in the next six months). Its taken three years of games, two skus under the price of Wii (and 1/3 the price of PS3 i believe) for Microsoft to sell significantly more 360s than PS3s in Europe on a weekly basis. |
I agree; if a price cut hits the PS3 soon it will easily retake weekly sales in EU. Even if it doesn't the PS3 has a couple of lifesavers that will likely give it the edge in the long term in Europe. One is the Blu-ray's momentum and the percieved extra value from that and other features; and in lieu of that though theres always the full version of GT5... European's love that shite. Also, isnt the PS3 actually tracking ahead of the PS2 from launch in others?
All that said--the PS3 is doooooooooooooooomed.
