EU 'Happy' To Wait For PS3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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."

    Hell, I wouldn't mind waiting either. Wii aren't interested in the slightest....

    its like sony are trying to make a documentary on how to ruin your products chances and annoy your customers. It keeps getting worse and worse. Youd have to be insane to be betting your business on the PS3 being a success.

  4. In Sonyspeak, is it customers or users? by WillAffleckUW · · Score: 5, Funny

    Never mind the "consumers" word. Shouldn't it be "customers" or at least "users"?

    I think you mean "DRM-enabled clients".
