910,000 PS3s in Europe? I don't think so...

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.

That is exactly what is happeing with me. I have plenty of games left to play on a PS2 so no need to upgrade. 

Also the fact that someone tries hard to find lower numbers for the PS3 really says something about them
