And how much SEK do you make a year. (not trying to be rude, but just a ballpark figure... because that's what's imporant)
I make about 12,000 USD/year.
a PS3+game = 660.+9.25% tax.
721 USD
5041.98 SEK
There you have it. A true direct currency conversion.
300 000 SEK before tax, but I am pretty well paid
(at least for a 23 year old youngster with his first real work...) and we do have 30% tax.
EDIT3: yes I can without any problem pay for a PS3 at launch I just can't see that it delivery more fun than a Wii60 combo. Or nicer Graphics than the Xbox360.
The thing is that when my friends that has been sony fanboys (sorry, and yes I do know those guys) is starting to look at the xbox instead. Those guys is sitting on around 200 000 SEK a year and need to pay for a car ect. Nobody says that the wont purchase the PS3 one day but for the moment the don't feel that the money is worth it. I mean one of those fanboys (who couldn't think of using any other brand than Sony) loves movies and have a pretty big DVD collection. He didn't think it was worth buying a blue ray player...yes I didn't belive him.
I have one guy that is going to buy a PS3 to christmas hopping that a price cut will come.
I have two friends going to buy a xbox360 (two that already own one), I might buy one.
I have two friends with Wii, four that is going to buy (myself included mostly because I am a fanboy :))
I don't say that sony will fail totally in EU I think that the PS2 will be the dominating machin for at least 1 to 2 years because low price point and a lot of party games. I am saying that the PS3 will most probarbly sell out the first million and then have pretty slow sales comparable with Japan. That must be seen as a failure as much as the GC was a failure because Nintendo lost market share compared to earlier generations.
(I don't think that Wii will sell tons in EU either because at least here in the north they aren't delivering any units + it is actuly quit expensive with controlls ect).
EDIT: (by the way my big intresst is cars
) wouldn't think twice in paying overprice for a nice car...
EDIT2: by expensive I mean that many don't find that it is worth it's price. I do think that many hardcore gamers will import their systems from USA or Japan. It is so cheap

Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
