I didnt expect it to have sold 800k i though closer to 500k so im very pleased , i think the wii and x360 sales in the uk arent great either though at least the wii has limited availability though i wished that would change to see how many above the gc figure it goes . Once all the GC people have wii consoles then i will see the improvement and judge it then .
Xbox and GCfans is the first people to buy new console because those consoles died a year ago. The ps2 owners dont need to buy new consoles now, specially in Europe we got Okami and FFXII in Februari and GOWII is coming in may. All of my GC friends have Wii and only one of my ps2 friends have ps3 the rest is waiting for price drops and games.

 


I think this point is highly underrated. There's a ton of very satisfied PS2 owners out there who see absolutely no reason to upgrade their system. Obviously most of 'em aren't gonna blindly jump onto the PS3 train, but I think a lot of them will this Christmas season when they've finally caught up on the great PS2 titles and are ready to play MGS4 and the many other exclusives and multiplatform games.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
