If Sony had 2 million available to Europe they would have sold them all.

An assumption. Supply issues aren't confirmed as of now.


Whatever makes you sleep at night......thery are sold out everywhere in europe, were immediately. It is obvious.

It is not obvious. SONY only shipped 450k to the rest of Europe and Australasia? Something is off.

Priortisizing more important markets is not something being off....Everyone and theri dog knows there is major supply issues, show me were you can geta  ps4 anywhere in europe?



Around the Network

PS2 sold around 500k in Europe in 2000....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/1037939.stm

so PS2 500k, PS3 600k, PS4 almost 700k....a steady progression from Sony.



ps3 thought the comparison wasnt fair but both do have the same amount of time for the data

when ps3 launched in EU in 2007 the brand was not stronger thant it was a week ago for the ps4 also the price differences favor PS3

idk whats up with PS4 number but im not impressed by that performance was expecting 1M plus for EU that week plus whatever it did in NA

They sold out everything they had how can you sell more then what exists? They already shipped well over 1 million in NA 2 weeks prior, what did you expect?

Everyone is forgetting ps3 didn't launch in europe for quite awhile after NA, ps4 did 2 weeks apart. Huge difference, can only make so many consoles.



Here they hade more pre-orders then they could deliver, let alone what they could have sold if supply was there.



PS3 sold just over 500K in Europe week 1 not 600K. That 600K figure is worldwide for that week.

Also, you could have walked into any gaming shop in the UK a week after the PS3 launch and got one.

The PS4 is simply a much bigger and impressive launch. It has destroyed the competition in two days. And it could have sold a lot more if it wasn't for supply issues.



I would go with the PS3 because of its insane launch price :3



If PS4 would have produced a 1.2 million week in EU without supply issues this probably would be less of a discussion.
