Goron_3 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 16 units?!?!? Wow, Wii really will get ahead this xmas! I know alot of people will say the launch window doesn't really matter and it's the sales AFTER 3months or so that make a difference, but seriously, Wii could be MILES ahead before ps3 even reaches Europe.

Domstercool Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Well I'm some what shocked by this survey http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3978&Ite%20mid=2 According to that 8.9 million USA people are willing to buy the PS3 at full price. That's quite a lot of people. I would of thought it would of been less till it was reduced in price. I guess it will sell at that price then and not lower.

ZeldaFreak Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Can't see how they get those figures from interviewing just 2000 people. Because I think they extrapolated that data with the US Census 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Sony Australia says Wii "a bit pricey" "For what it specifically does as a video games machine [it] is a bit pricey." No, this quote isn't from yet another analyst bemoaning the PS3's high price point; it's from Sony Computer Entertainment Australia Managing Director Michael Ephraim, talking about the Wii's AU$400 price point in an interview with a blog associated with Australia's Age newspaper. Ephraim also mentioned that the Xbox 360 "appeals only to a very core group" and, at a little over AU$600, is "still pricey." Ephraim was not asked what he thought about the PlayStation 3's AU$1,000 price point, but I think it's fair to guess the word "pricey" wouldn't be anywhere near his answer. Seriously, when many analysts and consumers consider a high price point to be your system's major weakness, you shouldn't be talking smack about the affordability of the competition.

Nintenchris Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sony are at it again it seems... as even tho a PS3 is gonna cost you your life savings you would expect it to come with something better than a standard composite AV cable... but thats exactly what your gonna get a box standard composite AV cable!

That's why it isn't included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkOfAllTrades Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I suppose it might be Sony thinking, well not everyone has HDTV Sets yet so why make average Joe consumer pay for something that has no use until he/she gets a HD TV. After that then slap the $80/$120 for a HDMI cable. Seems fine to me, though for those who have HD TV now i can understand why they might be upset at having to fork over extra for HD visuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintenchris Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Except that next gen is all about HD according to Sony. Thats my point... its all about the Blu-ray... its all about HD games... but you cant even have HD cos you dont even get a half decent cable outta the box when it just cost you a few weeks wages!

Domstercool Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Well it's what two of the three big companies think. HD is the next step forward in console gaming, so say Microsoft and Sony anyway. I don't even own a HDTV and I don't plan on getting one anytime soon. they are just so damn expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimless Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 They're too busy fucking everyone else over. Europe especially. And for those of you that can't be bothered to click that link: Spanish gaming site MeriStation is reporting that Ken Kutaragi recently admitted that supply problems for Japan and North America could force the European PS3 launch to be delayed until May -- which would mean that Japanese and American consumers might have their systems nearly six months before the eager gamers in the rest of the world. Makes no difference to me as I won't be getting one at launch, but I thought some people might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domstercool Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Well Europe are pretty much use to it now. It's only just recently started getting closer between each region because of what Microsoft did with the 360. It was like 6 months for the Gamecube to get here from Japan.
