EU 'Happy' To Wait For PS3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday October 6, 2006 @04:57AM from the boy-do-they-like-europe dept.

Eurogamer reports on comments by SCE Worldwide Europe VP Jamie MacDonald almost designed to irk anyone left frustrated by Sony's delay of the PS3 in Europe. According to Mr. MacDonald, Europe has always waited before, so why should this time be any different? From the article: "In Europe, it doesn't seem that the release of our platforms after the US and Japan - in the long run - affects how consumers feel ... If we were sitting here in five years' time, I don't think we'd really think about or notice that PlayStation 3 was four or five months later in Europe. I think in the long run, PlayStation 3 will succeed because of the great product it is and the great software we make for it."

That's right, Sony! by LKM · 2006-10-06 06:25 · Score: 0, Flamebait

I'm European, and I just love to wait. In fact, I'll wait at least two or three more years until I'll get a PS3. If I ever get one. Because I'll wait until the price of your rich man's toy comes down to a more agreable level.

I'll get a Wii the day it comes out, though.

With an attitude like that you will be waiting a long time before I will consider being one of your customers. Screwing over customers is one thing, but claiming that we're happy with it is a completely new game.
