The PS3 came out a few days ago in the EU. But no one here is getting one. When the Xbox 360 came out, there was a massive boom for them and you had to wait 3 months + to get one. But for some reason the PS3 is not like that. There is no big market for them. Are there any good points to them?
 
Yuh huh. Sure.
 
Well there were a million PS3s for launch in Europe. Xbox 360 only had 500,000 in by the end of 2005 due to supply constrains.

Supply constraints = harder to get them.

Even with some sitting on shelves, they sold more than Xbox 360's launch because they had enough.
 
I'd have happily bought a PS3 at the EU launch, if it wasn't for the whole UH-OH-CANT-PLAY-PS2-GAMEZ fiasco.
 
Lol, how about we go make a "why the XBox 360 fails" or "why the Wii fails" in their respective sections. Don't troll around like this. There are ups and downs of each system (I garuntee you if anyone did make the kinda thread in the sections I stated before there'd be tons of bitching from others :P so before people go "this is a PS3 discussion" than accept someone can do the same with the other systems). I don't like double standards if you can't tell by now :|
 
Other than price it doesn't fail. The price wasn't a problem for me, therefore I bought one. People want to say there are no games but after the 360 launch there really weren't a lot of games out. I have a Wii and I'll be damned I only have Wii Sports which came with it and Zelda. I don't get the overwhelming negetivity people have. I am getting more than a little tired of it.

The PS3 is a solid system. The online component isn't as shiny and polished as X-box Live but it is getting better with time/updates, it functions, and is free.
 
Some people are getting confused...
The launch was a failure in Europe... It doesn't mean the whole system is a failure...

Title says different :P I do know that the PS3 failed with selling off all consoles on its launch day. I find that funny, personally. But I hate when people bitch about a system that's really quite impressive technologically and is a fine system. That money's not hard to come by if you save and are smart (well you have to have a job so I guess people without are of coarse going to bitch). You might not have it RIGHT away but who cares? As stated, systems don't have more than maybe one good game as soon as they come out :P 360 didn't, PS3 didn't, Wii didn't. If he just meant the france release, state it better in the title :P plus, from what he said it sounds like he is making it seem as though its an inferior system. I know if anyone posted any kinda thread like this in the Wii or XBox 360 section there'd be about 5-10 people bitching and calling it a troll post and whatnot.
 
Just give it time until the great games come out, then the PS3 will kick butt. Dont get me wrong i have all 3 consoles and I don't favor any one over another.
 
Also let me throw out there that Europe isn't one solid entity... the PS3 had varying degrees of success in different countries and just because they didn't sell great in every area doesn't mean much.
 
No need. Backwards Compatibility was removed by Sony from the European systems.

*sigh* No, it wasn't. They switched to Software Emulation. Do you read?
 
Big fucking deal if it was switched or not. From what I've been reading it's nearly non-existant.
if 75% is nearly non-existant, duno what you're judging.
Yes, the new software emulation sucks right now. But to say it doesn't work at all or doesnt even exist is just plain stupidity.

And wasnt this a Non-Issue with the 360, which launched with far worse than 75%?
 
duno what you're judging.

The titles people actually want to play. Not the usual garbage inflating the library.

Regardless, if you want to claim backwards compatibility, get it right. Theres no excuse for every title to not work if you say your system is backwards compatible.
