| hayeya_k said: Hello Everyone !!! Awesome Site Really !!! i've been visiting this site on a daily basis for more than 4 months (call it addiction if you like),, and i think that it's about time to start posting my thoughand start engaging in heated debates! I'm from Lebanon , the small country thats in the central of the neverending middleeast conflict! Lebanon is a Playstation country (sorry Microsoft fanboys), it's always been and it will always be, but microsoft is finally becoming a real challenger to the throne due to one thing,, Piracy ,, cause the economy in my country is week due to the endurable conflicts arising from time to time, so a large number of gamers are shifting toward the console that could deliver the cheapest games, so instead of paying 60 $ for one game,, they can thanks to piracy obtain 9 games on xbox360 instead of one on ps3 ! After reading this you might think that microsoft is winning here,, well thats not the case ,, microsoft is only able to sell consoles but they're generating 0 income from games, sales for original xbox360 games in lebanon is almost non existant!on the other half, Sony is enjoying here it's best generation ever,,, as u all now , the ps3 is hack-free as opposed to the ps2 & ps1, so the only way to play its games is through the purchase of original games, and this will bring me to my next subject: Sales for ps3 games is unbelievable here in lebanon : dmc4, uncharted, call of duty4, pro evolution soccer 2008, for example are all sold out everywhere, and fans are hotly anticipating mgs4 ,Gta4, the next shadow of colossus, gt 5, resident evil 5, FFXIII, FvXIII, White knight story,,,,,,,,, ,,,, i know that my country is a non factor in the worldwide sales of consoles ,, but i think that this model runs through all arab and third countries in general. I hope that i gave you an insight of the state of the console war in my country, and i hope to here from you |
So piracy on the PS2 was non-existent in Lebanon? If not why is it a major problem for the 360 in your country (according to you) but wasn't for the PS2? And you're saying the PS3 is outselling the PS2 and PS1 in your country dispite the fact that those consoles had piracy? Also which ISP do you use?
