said by gate1975mlm  :said by Jonbo298 :It sold fast in japan because there was only 80,000 to go around  If there were 180,000 they would be gone too! An interesting quote from one of the linked sites from an American observer of the launch crowd:
"Hardcore gamers are not here waiting in line overnight, buying a first-run PS3, and running home to play some good old next-gen gaming. Rather, opportunistic Japanese businessmen have the largest presence, hiring poor Chinese men and women to wait in line for a PS3, one which will later be sold on web auctions to wealthy gamers around the world for exorbitant amounts of money."
These systems selling out fast on launch (for 360 and Wii as well) has little to do with gaming. Hell, the first buyer didn't even buy a game to go with the PS3. |
