Skip to the second paragraph.


My BS detector just went off. =/

All the bad press. Only 165,000 at the UK launch even with a large supply. 20,000 in AU, although there was only 30,000 sent. I'm going to wait for some NPD numbers before I go along with this figure.

wtf does that mean?

Something tells me thats BS as well.. Again Sony pulled something like this before so it wouldnt shock me if this was pulled again.

Europe is a big market. It's not like one country called UK. XD

It's close to sold out in Portugal for example, which had 80,000 units I believe.

In Germany it's doing really well too, etc etc etc.

Believe what you wanna believe though. Sony did a very good job. End of story.

Let the 360 vs PS3 war commence! [again]

I think the number is a bit bloated though.

/should be in PS3 thread, or 'vs' thread.
