| Bokal said: 80GB with MGS4 would be 500€ in europe, which is roughly 800$ SCEE is not taking care at all of us Europeans, while we are their biggest buyers, and by far. Late hardware release. 1,5 the price. No 80Gb hardware yet. Late PSN releases. Games are also 1.5 the price: 70€ is 110$ I love my PS3, but WTF! Actually... we're still buying so why would they care? Sad... very sad... Sony should (and could) make the PS3 300€ (it would still be more expensive than in the US...) THAT would make huge sales, a lot more than a 500€ 80Gb PS3... (MS and Ninty does the same anyway...) |
The US video game market is much bigger than any individual European country's video game market. The US has much lower prices for video games market. Pricing in the US is very competitive too attract shoppers to buy at best prices. European's are willing to pay higher prices and retailers keep their prices high because they know they will sell regardless. Every thing in Europe is more expensive than the US. Fuel, food, clothing are all cheaper in the USA.
