Reminds me of an Xbox launch in Japan, except this actually looks even worse since it's a much bigger territory.

Yes Sony does deserve this for raising the price and general bum sticking to the Europe guys. I seriously feel for them, they should not be paying much more and with a gimped BC machine.

Like I say petitions and complaining/crying does not work, not buying the product will.

If that really is the real line, that is abominable and Sony should give in right now. 1 person. 1.

From all the momentum Sony had/have with PS2, to 360-in-Japan-esque bomba. It's unbelievable. Must be hard times being a Sony fan.

I for one can't wait for UK:Resistance's next update. :lol

hell yeah, i love it! reminds me of the old days.....deflated mascots at E3, huge signs defaced to promote the competition at gaming confrences, Sega sending those trucks out mocking Sony for their launch troubles, Blast Processing, "NintenDon't", "those guys work for Nintendo", color blind dog....*tear*, good times.

damn, looking back Sega used to f*ck with the competition a lot.

When did official launch events become the designated pickup place for buyers? Let's wait for pics from Virgin Champs-Elysées.

Somehow I doubt it would have been as respected had the move been made by Sony in regards to an Xbox launch.

well considering that most people find funny stuff funny i think at least the Sony fans and neutral guys would have gotten a kick out of it but until you go back in time and change the past we'll never know. get on that. but in the meantime cry me a river..................























so Microsoft can float a boat down it :lol

PS3 launch in europe bombed, simple as that.

I live in Switzerland, there was 10x more people for WII or Xbox360 launch than PS3 one.

Maybe because sony said they would be shipping alot to europe for launch, or probably because of the high price.

Neither of which cannot be a good scenario from these early reports.

shouldnt this have been expected?

i mean, mediocre to poor sales in NA and Japan; why would Europeans go crazy for such an expensive console?
 
Since when do internet assclowns care about facts.

I mean first the pic of the one person clearly out of context, then pics like this

So what ? pics of 20ish people prove what ?

PS3 hype isnt there. MOST of them arent going to buy it, lots of people came in with friends or just to watch the special event held by Sony.
