You know when liberals complain about life in America and conservatives brag about how quality of life here is higher than anywhere else in the world?

UK PS3 = £425
Current exchange rate is around $2US - £1GBP
UK PS3 is now around $850US and we still probably buy more of them than the US per capita!!

Bububububu PS3 stopped selling in Europe after the rich people bought the first 600,000 units. This news must be incorrect.

Success!
Europe is still Sony land.
Europe is still Sony land.
I think it may be signs of a minor market shift, with europe moving more towards sony and japan moving more towards nintendo.
But I think we all know the important profit thing is software, although it appears sony isn't actually losing any money with people buying the weaker european ps3 for 850 US Dollar. Just think of if THATS what the PS3 had cost here. Good god.

Hope we'll have the Loco Roco PS3 first
Haunted One said:wait, what? Spider-man3's world premiere was in Japan?
Yup. Both Spiderman 1 & 2 were masive hits in Japan. Stringer made a speech before the premiere to talk about his vision for Sony...
Evidently the first time that such a big film has had a free standing premiere in Japan.
... FYI, Sony Pictures weren't very happy about it.

Really? 300M? I have this bad feeling it's going to flop ever since I saw the first pictures/trailer. I LOVED the first Spiderman, but it kind looks played out now and Venom is just terribly designed played by the worst actor possible :/

Now that be an absolutely novel discussion :lol .Luckyman said:

Not surprising to see these numbers. 600k for the first week and 200k for the next three weeks. Fits the UK sales quite good imo (165k - 25k - 17k - ??k).

Piracy. They're showing it in Asia first so people wont be buying pirate cam dvds of our version. Its pretty stupid really, unless the movie doesn't suck. The hardcore group of comic fans in the US are probably just as likely to pirate it.
I don't get how people can even stand watching movies like that, a shaky cam on your computer screen. Bad enough to have to watch a Blu-Ray on a 42 inch tv.
We told you price was not an issue for launch in Europe, but some of you wouldn't listen ;-)
We are not rich, we are just used to paying 500 for launch period Sony consoles and 59 for games.
Price will be an issue to get the mass market to buy the PS3, but this really depends on how much time does Sony need to go under 300.
Anyway, Europe is not shifting towards Sony as I read earlier in this thread. If anything, Europe is changing from Sony total domination to Sony domination with Nintendo reaching some interest and relevance it has not had since the early 90s (which actually end up in total ignorance in the last 5 years. Except GBA for kids, Nintendo simply did not exist for mass market in those years). I do not see MS moving forward their position in Europe. They are where they were.
