100,000 for Japan, 400,000 for the US (PS3)

Ok, i know this kind of ties in with the delay thread but it also deserves it' s own for obvious reasons.

In the U.S., about 400,000 PlayStation 3 machines will be available when they go on sale Nov. 17. About 100,000 will be available on the Nov. 11 Japan launch date.

Sony are F**KED!!

No,it depends on wii.
And we also have to remember Playstation never sold like crazy from the start,360 ofc has a big chance and oppurtunity however i think wii is more likely to take it with its cheap price tag,and parents who need to have something their kids want but for a good price.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

• North America: 400,000 Units
• Japan: 100,000 Units

Does that look like a lot to you? Keep in mind Microsoft' s global launch was 1.5 million units, and there were still massive shortages.



It' s funny xbox sold 25 million ex and had 1.5 million out at launch date and went world wide.

Sony who sold over 100 million ps2 has now putted up 500k units,and left out EU.


WTF?!

PS3 shortages are going to be worse than PS2 shortages. This is bad news for people who want the system and for developers/publishers who will now have to decide whether or not to delay their games until the machine is widely available.

Sony is being cheap and taking it slow.
They take for granted that everyone wants an overpriced ps3 even if they gonna have to wait ...

It' s as if they had an in-office contest and gathered up, onto a single piece of paper, the best suggestions for how to make the launch a success. And then they tore up that paper and used it to wipe their asses... strange.

I dont think that happend.
Now why would they take that paper in their ass?
Doesnt make any sense...

The EU delay and the US/JPN unit alloctions are different subjects.

Lol i' m really interested to see what goes down at tgs. I also wonder how the japanese feel about this and the ps3 on the whole. 500, 000 units is not just short of 4million it' s a lot short.

The EU delay and the US/JPN unit alloctions are different subjects.

the subject is PS3 launch - sure we can make 10 threads about it " date" " price" and so on , but I think we were doing alright with this previous thread.

I don' t mind though.It' s just that forum has been flooded with similiar threads lately

I also wonder how the japanese feel about this and the ps3 on the whole. 500, 000 units is not just short of 4million it' s a lot short.

the funny thng is , they still say , they will deliver 6 mln units till march 2007

The japs are all about Honor, Sony cant be seen giveing the majority of its units to a forign land, the 100k for Japan is just to ensure that they keep Japan and with the Nintendo Wii coming, they it.

Sony will be hitting America hard, everybody will want one, but nobody will get one. If you cant get it, you want it more, Americans need everything now and fast, they will eat up a large amounts of launch units.

Poor old europe gets the end of the stick again. But at leasdt its not too far away.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I wonder whether this will have any effect on the price of titles at launch. With the install base being so small publishers might be inclined to sell the games at a higher price to ensure they meet their projected profits.

I wouldn' t be surprised if the EU launch is delayed until summer, i guess it depends on how quickly they can feed the Japanese and US markets.

I remember the ps2 launch, in europe, it was delayed. And the first batchs of consoles headed to the uk where in fact taken and sold in America!, this delayed the ps2' s launch in europe even futher.

If they do this again. I swear, Al qaeda will be getting alot of support!

Its just sad all the fanboys will still be crying for their Sony machines, even though Sony is giving it to them roughly! Id feel screwed over and lied to if it was me! Hell even though i dont really care, i still feel betrayed, ah well, thats sony for you

And yet some who say they have no faith in Sony are still defending them.

There' s another point they havent even announed the price for games or the full details about their online venture.

Yes dasher, i' ve noticed that you' ve noticed that.

Well what pisses me off is that " riiiiiidge raaaaceeer" dude kept going all over the web saying the launch goes very well just for a week ago and said they was gonna ship over 4 million units before this year and ofc do a world wide launch.

And now it might be just 2 millions,and not even bothering with Europe.


I just hate how Sony keep their fans as trash or schoolboys they can lie to constantly.

yeah those lies are really fucked up - everybody knows they' re lying but they keep saying that shit over and over again...

Thing is you guys beleve them!

I never believed anything they (sony) say anymore (not that i did) -

Killzone E32005 touted as in game, ps3 can so 1080p on 2 HDTV simultaneously, 360 is only a 1.5x upgrade where as ps3 is a 2x upgrade, All those ports (that have promptly disappeared off the console), Spring 2006 launch, followed by worldwide launch by Q4 2006, and 2million launch units.

All this has been effectively proven as BULL$#!T.

I think that the only truthful thing they have stated is the price, although with only 500k launch units in US & Japan this might also prove false.

BTW how do they hope to catch up to Wii and 360 with such a poor start? By the time they reach 2million ps3 Wiis would have sold around 4million and 360 about 8+million. Its not like Nintendo and microsoft are going to wait until sony catches up, there going to ramp up production even further and iron out manufacturing issues and rub salt into the wounds. Unless sony is going to build more factories to increase ps3 production (which i doubt considering how much they lose per console sold), there is no way (IMO) they can catch up.

Fortunately all of the launch games suck and I dont want one this year anyway.
I will probably try to get one but I wont camp out at a store or anything for it.

...it' s a Japanese thing....

...Sony' s main priority will always be their own backyard... ..this euro delay/low American allocation is probably so that they can focus on doing their best to ensure it' s success in their homeland before they start worrying about the gaijins abroad....

....it sucks, but it' s no big deal... ...Western fans of Japanese gaming have had to put up with this kinda sh*t for years.....

Currently accepting Article & Review requests

You know even though I didn' t trust what Sony said, I actually DID believe they would be able to sort of keep up with demand better then the 360 did for the first couple of months...looks like I was wrong

But hey, I think I was correct that Sony (as a whole) is probably going to be stubbling around looking for money if these PS3s are killing thier pocketbook.


*If Sony' s and Microsoft' s finances switched hands, how would Microsoft be handling it*

...Random Madness, Forward...

UGH!!! FAWWWK!! This means I won' t be able to get an import unit in November without having to sell two cars and take out a loan!!

I don' t know if this was the case but remember when there was a poll were they asked Japanese people were asked whether the price of the ps3 was excessive. The majority indicated the price was too high for their liking. do you think thats another reason why they got ' shafted' by sony? I mean thats not even a quarter allocation. What are they thinking?

Did they have a poll in the US and ask the same question? Maybe US gamers are more willing to fit the US$600+ bill more then sonys own country men.

Let' s see, it was September 25, 2005 when I said:

I also question the reality of the PS3 selling for under $600 with a Blu-Ray drive BY NEXT SPRING. I think Sony has their heads in the clouds, but are in for a rude awakening. They have all this stuff that is " theoretical" and that they really want to bring to market, but reality is gonna bite them in the ass. I see MANY delays in the future, especially given this new information.

I hope I' m wrong, and the PS3 debuts in the spring of 2006 with Blu-Ray and it sells for under $500. That would be sick! I highly doubt it, though.

It' s funny how many people believe the bullsh*t that these guys throw out. They are masters of the smoke and mirrors strategy, and I' ll give them credit for that!

First, they' re gonna launch in the spring of 2006; which they KNEW was a f*ckin lie! They just said that to take away some of the thunder from the 360 launch.

Then they' re gonna have 2 million units available for a WORLDWIDE launch by Christmas?! Well, .5 million to two territories is kinda the same thing... isn' t it?

The whole, going from two HDMI ports for dual 1080p to no games available in 1080p at launch (maybe ever), is just icing on the cake!

PS3 is officially a joke! Everybody, wave goodbye to Blu-ray. **Goodbye Blu-ray. Goodbye!**

I forgot to say.

LOL @ the Cavemen that have to wait 4 extra months for PS3 and have to pay more for it.

I' m getting one just to take pics and demonstrate how much more important I am to Sony than you uncivilized brutes. I will also highlight the part in my receipt that shows I payed 30% less for it than you will and how I got it 4 months earlier, lol.

Thats why i cant help liking you just a slight bit Evil Man

Sony' s screwed themselves with this one. Their home country japan is only getting 100 k and North america is getting 500 k but none for EU? I dont live their but i still think thats pretty harsh to the sony fans in EU, especially after they said they would have a golobal launch with wutever million consoles they said. i dont see how sony is going to sell anything. I say Jap. will go to nintendo. EU will prob. go to Microsoft and it will prob. be pretty close with NA.

Now i Love Sony But man I Have Faith in Them but Its Hard To when they keep bullshitin I mean Come on I cant Wait any more . I was think about going on strike and not posting until my German Friends Get a Ps3 June 2008 march my ass if i was german i woundent belive sony at all I' ll just give up on Gameing Go in To Pimp' in Or Something
