Europeans Dont mind being last in line says Sony

So Sony brilliances with their funny remarks again! Here is what the European director Jamie Macdonald says.

GamesIndustry.biz: What would you say to consumers who like Sony and want to buy your products, but perhaps feel that because they' re in Europe they' re always last in line?

Jamie MacDonald: European consumers have shown that historically they don' t mind that, because they end up buying as many PlayStations, if not more, than the US and Japan. In Europe, it doesn' t seem that the release of our platforms after the US and Japan - in the long run - affects how consumers feel.

Funny

Oh really now?!

Some of us have been dying to get our hands on a PS3, and whilst most of us
thought it was but a month away... Well..

You know, Europeans would probably see them in a better light had they not
initially said..

" We can do a successful global launch!"

Well, it' s a succes if you go by the " gaming launch window" ..

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

You guys just called pushovers. Are you gonna take that from some Sony punk?

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Just read that before coming here... man sony have some nerve and certainly need to hire a decent group of people for PR.... because what they have at the moment isn' t doing it for them.

FIGHT THE POWER!!!

FIGHT THE POWER!!!

did you do drugs this morning`? Only weird rantings have spewed from your fingers today

Grumble grumble!

Sony and their crazy schemes.

" What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things."
~ Unknown ~

They sure are Crazy, I want to wait a year!! just like the psp.


Those bastards at sony really cant keep us Fans happy. Waiting is the most fun part!

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

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

Heh, but sales figures don' t represent how we feel!? We' ll buy the things but we' ll damn well be angry about doing it! [:' (]

This one' s just as good as that one about how 5 million people will buy PS3s even if it had no games. (@Sony..ooh shiny PS3..)

Europeans are idiots, so yes.

You can' t expect more from guys that lose entire continents to militia.

where r u from evil man?

He says he' s American, but we know he' s really...

man sony have some nerve and certainly need to hire a decent group of people for PR....

No, they need to push all their PR people off the reality check building, and make sure they hit every clothesline on the way down.

Oh yeah, im sure Europe wants to wait an additional 3 months for a ps3

Usually I' d say no instantly, but with PS3 this could actually be a good thing. We have a higher chance at getting games such as Heavely Sword and Assasins Creed at launch, plus as long as the games are still region free, we won' t have to wait for VF5 or DMC4 as long as everyone else from launch day.

Seeing the US and Japan release lists so far reminds me of last year' s 360 launch, though a little better, still provokes the " why did I pay £425 for this" .

Being optimistic for once I' d like to hope that Sonic, Assasins Creed, Heavenly Sword all make launch line-up, or at least only release two or three weeks after.

You can' t expect more from guys that lose entire continents to militia.

We have no rights to control other continents anyway. Having an empire or control over others in the name of security is nothing to be proud of.

You are aware that our governments actually supply weapons to many of them purposely, it' s all a sick political game for power and control. Sadly we have no say in the matter as all parties are ultimately driven by their own greed, regardless who we elect have their own agenda.

Hhahahahahahahahahaahaha

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.

I know it' s nothing to be proud of - europeans are blood thirsty scumbags, nothing they have ever done historically is anything to be proud of.

Where are u from?

WHo lost it,England?

Read a freaking hstory book why.

You think it was stable with France in Europe?

But no,lets send our army and best leaders 10000000 miles away from England then.

Btw im Swedish,and we are 1000times smarts then idiots like evil man.

Who the fuck is afraid of france?

LMAO @ England.

Evil man.. Obviously u havent a clue about History if you down play Europe like that..

Europe' s history is garbage.

Europe sucks, but for different reasons than you [Evil Man] claim. It' s just not a nice place in general, though Spain and southern Italy are nice places to visit.

England is probably the worst country in Europe, although France is almost as bad. I was unfortunate enough to be born here, but at least i' m doing something about it and emigrating. Now Canada, where ' m hoping to move to is nicer than the majority of the world. I seriously doubt that after moving i would ever consider returning to England, even to see my idiot family members...

LOL, Canada.

Ya know I' ve been considering Canada for quite some time as well. Hell Im 4 hours away as it is.

I know it' s nothing to be proud of - europeans are blood thirsty scumbags, nothing they have ever done historically is anything to be proud of.

Oh yeah they havnt done anything right?

thats why everytime we get ourselves in a war we cant finish Europe saves our asses.

American Revolution french (back when they had a decent militia) save our asses half way into the war.

WW I&II- we didnt want to get involved so we gave our weapons and such to Britain to fight Germany, the one time they could have used our help we say no you can have our weapons. Then we go in any way so it could have helped if we joined in the first place.

Korean War- We go and try to do somthing thats none of our business, get our asses kicked, of course Europeans being the nice people they are, help us again in an effertless war that could have been avoided

Vietnam- even though we didnt win, Britain still helped. And (Im not positive but) Britain was the country that lost the most people

Okay so do you still think Europeans are blood thirsty scumbags that havent done anything right? well you should be thankful for the Europeans so we have this crappy country anyway.

LOL, Canada.

yeah LOL at Canada, the place where theres practically no war, shooting deaths are less than 200 (majority shooting accedints), and the ghetto is like our middle class neighboorhoods.

Always used to want to live in canada, seems so much better than England... What a crap hole england is..

Europe' s history is garbage.

It' s better than the U.S.' s. We started our country on nothing but patriotism, blue jeans, mom' s apple pie, & slave labor. One of these things doesn' t belong.

nothing they have ever done historically is anything to be proud of.

Who needs cars anyways?

I' ve gotta give props to Canada, being one of the few people here who actually sees both Canada & Us on a regular basis, I can say that Windsor looks a fair bit nicer than detroit, & the only thing separating the two is a river. It' s interesting when you look around & you see graffiti-ed buildings and dead grass, then you look across the river & see big trees & nice houses,.

where r u from evil man?

Evil Man is from the Midwestern U.S.... a region whose greatest cultural contribution to the world is the Jell-o Mold.

Seriously, all this nationalism is really discouraging. I hope you all realize that we have been manipulated by our leaders and by our media into this flag-waving ' my country is the best' nonsense. They' re especially desperate to keep us in line in predictable ways since we have access to this technology to communicate with each other.

It' s interesting when you look around & you see graffiti-ed buildings and dead grass, then you look across the river & see big trees & nice houses,.

Yes obviously all of the United States is full of dead grass and graphiti because you saw this in a few areas.

Please.

The US has 50 times the living area of Europe and Canda combined. And by living area I mean locations where it' s actually comftorable for humans to inhabit, unlike most of Canada which is Wasteland, 80% of the country is like living in fucking Alaska, only people with no lives inhabit those areas.

75% of Canada' s population is within 100 miles of the US, I wonder why. Cause thats the only habitable space they have, lmao.

Jeez, my point is that the UK sucks and after numerous visits to Canada i decided that' s where i want to live. I would have considered the US but since 9/11 it' s gotten much harder to get residency there.

It doesn' t matter what anybody else thinks of Canada, i really like it and it' ll be me living there (hopefully) not somebody who thinks it' s funny that of all the places you cold choose it' d be Canada.

What i don' t get is why after Evil Man has stopped straight out abusing people, everybody is still so against him. I thought the entire problem was that he was too aggressive... I don' t agree with his many of his views, but i don' t have to, he doesn' t agree wth many of mine, but i don' t want the guy to leave because he' s smarter than some of the muppets who post here.

Anyway, Europeans, if they had the decision, would get PS3 as soon as possible. Obviously. But Europe isn' t important to Sony, or at least not as important as the States and Japan. Europeans always get f**ked by games companies, it' s nothing new, and we get f**ked because the view taken by the companies it that we' re not as important.

People chill,who defeated Germany?

Russia(soviet) wasn' t USA.

Why do you think they come in 1944 when the war started 1939?

After 1944 hitler had lost his 3 million main nazi army in eastern russia,usa came then,took them 2 year with britian and russias help.

I hate to say this,but the germans was really kcik ass soldiers.

Now look at some USA wars,look at vietnam,if you lose to farmers...


embarssing?

yes.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!

Compairng Vietnam War to WWII is assinine.

In WWII Germany was an actual threat, and the consequences to losing would have been the fall of thousand year old empires. Vietnam was not a threat to the US, and most americans were against it.

If a country was an actual threat to the US they' d be fucked, and fast. I mean we lost 2 fucking buildings in 9/11 and we already fucked up 2 countries for no reason, imagine if they actually did something bad to us.

I would have considered the US but since 9/11 it' s gotten much harder to get residency there.

You' re white, male, & financially well off right? It shouldn' t be much of a problem.

Don' t get me wrong, I love my country, & we' ve got some great things, but we could use to take some examples from other nations.

Yes obviously all of the United States is full of dead grass and graphiti because you saw this in a few areas.

Actually, I should have re-stated, it' s mainly in the urban areas that I' ve seen this. Chicago, Detroit, even Washington DC, (once you get out of the city proper) has seen better days. Last time I checked, those were pretty big cities, I know every city has one part that isn' t the best looking, but when a city has a negative stereotype set on it as being tough and hard to live in, there must be something behind all of that.

Now look at some USA wars,look at vietnam,if you lose to farmers...

Who had the advantage of being the defensive force, who were fighting using guerilla tactics, (a strategy that was fringe compared to today' s warzones), and who had more to lose if they lost, a corrupt communist government' ll do that do you.
I' m not saying I support what we did, I' m just saying that they' re two completely different kinds of war.

Can we try and get back on topic? Please?

Sure, like I said earlier, Sony' s PR division is incompetent. It' s bad enough that their actions implied that Europe doesn' t really mind waiting, but to have someone actually come out & say that? It makes me wonder who' s really giving all the bad ideas at the top.

You' re white, male, & financially well off right? It shouldn' t be much of a problem.

Indeed.

The immigration problem right now is that they dont want any more fucking mexicans in here, it' s no problem for white people that speak english to get in here.
