Why do people criticize PS3 for sales

Stromprophet said: I don't know if the Europeans make more or less than in North America. Things tend to be more expensive there in general so I don't know that I'd want to live there. I've also heard there is unemployment in some countries that make it look like a depression. Do you live in Canada Squirrel? I assume that's what you mean by the Tar-Sands. You web programmers! You must have been living it up in the 90s. I work as a mechanical engineer right now and despite all that education the average salary for an ME has not gone up for a while. It was 45k Median in 2000. I got out in 2004 and got the job I wanted in 2005 making 45k a year. I wasn't a slouch either, I was like #2 or #3 in GPA in my class. The job market got ridiculous after 9/11. And they outsourced a lot of the engineering jobs to India and China. I had an offer to work for Slumberge down in Texas and I would be on Oil Rigs in the gulf and down in South America. I also have a minor in Spanish so this would have worked, but I have a pretty bad knee and I have trouble standing all day. I would have been on 18-hour shifts for 2 weeks then off 1 week, and then back on, and so on. It would have been nice though, they paid for housing and food. I would have saved a buttload, but it would have been terrible. To the guy in France, I think they said something like 28% of American households make more than 250k a year. So yeah, there are a lot of rich people. America has 8 million millionares not counting the equity of their primary residence (meaning they have 1 million in cash, stock, or bonds). Still, I wouldn't target the rich is I wanted to be successful with normal eletronic products.

28% of households make 250,000/year? I know about 3 people that make more than that. I'm thinking of around 40-50 households. and about 3 make more than 250,000/year. What america do you live in? becuase it's not mine!!! hot damn. I'd be happy with 25,000/year. screw 250,000!!! (250,000$/year translates into a full time job makeing around 125$/hour, or 2 family members working full time jobs makeing over 60$/hour. The only person I know that gets paid that, is a multi-millionarie. (I think something like 20million, and makes that from investments) Also, if 28% of households made 250,000$. There would be damn near close to 120million, millionaires.
