EU 'Happy' To Wait For PS3 · Slashdot Mirror

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."

"PlayStation 3 will succeed because of the great product it is"

Are they so sure? Have they had the chance to play it? I am also guessing they hadn't hear about the whole overheating issue. I foresee a lot of recalls like the Sony batteries. I for one will not buy a PS3 until 2008 when hopefully the prices drop and the bugs are fixed.
