I'd say 10 times is an exageration, but Singstar and Buzz definitely are at least as popular in Europe as the Wii. Plus they have the advantage of being part of the mindset for a few years now.

Never underestimate Buzz and Singstar just cause they're non existant outside of Europe. People are still buying hords of PS2s every single day just for these games alone. They have the same amount of shelf space as the Wii on every major retail store (when those have Wii's in stock that is).

Now, he shouldn't complain if these people were moving to the Wii, though... I mean what did he expect? If they're buying PS2s with these games right now it's because they're dirty cheap! You expect to move them to the €600 PS3? Right... that makes sense. This are people that won't buy into the Wii craze because it's way too expensive! They'll likely never buy a PS3 for over €200-300... and when's that gonna happen?

Finally, his comments on the bundle vs. pricedrop... are totally lame. But that's just the expected amount of marketing spin. What did anyone expect? For them to drop the price this soon when they're actually ahead in some markets? No, they'll keep shafting the European consumer as these companies always do.

Sony largely expanded the market by simply keeping up w/ gamers as they got older. Their target audience was 20-30 something males who would have been gamers in their teens. They weren't going after seniors and soccer moms.

its all the matter of the country

In the US Singstar and Buzz aren't very well known but in Europe Singstar and Buzz are mega hits.  

Or after. I myself would call "in b4" posts trollish, but I guess there's no convincing you of that.

The fact Sony is planning on changing the bundle every once in a while will add more reason for gamers to buy it, I think they might even be planning on making it 3 games and have Warhawk installed on the console's HDD at purchase.

As entertaining as the whole article is, I have to say Soriku inventing the word "arrogancy" was better.

PS - Try "arrogance" next time Soriku =) 

he makes a point but nintendo definintly expanded the market in the handheld arena...i think that's what he meant when he said nintendo broadened the market to where we have never gone...

Ah... Get over it Sony... You lost this round. Down start whining now like 'But... we did it first :'(...' Really pathetic!... Gameboy + tetris anyone?!... Or Pokémon?!... Just to get something out of the high hat!

"…We’re very happy Nintendo broadened the market to where we have never gone. But Sony is going places where EA and Microsoft have never been."

I'm still trying to make sense of this statement. Is there something happening between Sony and EA other than the framerate problems that we don't know about?
