Yes, and that is because countries in South America and  some in Europe will reciave only a small supply of token unities.

And there is the marketing and advertising to go arround also. 

And no, I don´t think Sony could have sold more than 1mi in NA day one. That is the hardcore market. And it was the easy part. IS the Europe hardcore market 1mi also? Will Sony sacrifice NA blackfriday for it?

I have my doubts Sony will sell much more than 500K next friday in Europe.

I said it before: day one is not important. It´s just a marketing tool to get people atention and debate.


The ps3 sold over 500units. Nice try. As for BF? Stores are already recieving supply for BF. I personally think its stupid since they will sell no matter when the put them out. I assume its to boost numbers to boast

Well, Wkipedia tells me that

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3#Launch

"The console was originally planned for a global release through November, but at the start of September the release in Europe and the rest of the world was delayed until March.[34] With it being a somewhat last-minute delay, some companies had taken deposits for pre-orders, at which Sony informed customers that they were eligible for full refunds or could continue the pre-order.[35] On January 24, 2007, Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 would go on sale on March 23, 2007, in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand.[8][9] The system sold about 600,000 units in its first two days.[36] On March 7, 2007, the 60 GB PlayStation 3 launched in Singapore with a price of S$799.[37] The console was launched in South Korea on June 16, 2007, as a single version equipped with an 80 GB hard drive and IPTV.[38]"

Things to note: It was released in March. It sold about 600k units in 2 days, not day one.

The thing is we can´t be sure of any thing. You can have you Target store number, I can tell you that PS4 is no show any where here in Brazil.
