It is interesting to compare the latest top 10 list in the US to the one from Japan. A vast difference in the games. Only 3 of the top 10 in the US are DS games where as all of the top 10 in Japan are DS games.

The guys at Team Xbox are really enjoying the PS3 problems.

PlayStation 3 Worldwide Launch PostPWNED
By: César A. Berardini - "Cesar"
September 6th, 2006
You probably heard the news already, but in case you missed it you can check it out here. Sony announced today it won’t be able to launch the PlayStation 3 simultaneously around the world as it originally promised, postponing the launch of the console in PAL territories (Europe, Russia, Middle East, Africa and Oceania) until March, 2007.

This is just not another console delay. Here, we are talking about the world's second largest consumer electronics manufacturer delaying its next-generation console for a second time in a key territory such as Europe.

The reason? A problem with the production of the blue laser diodes required for the Blu-ray Disc optical drive. So, in other words, the console is getting delayed because of the irrational idea of using the console to impose a next-generation DVD format. That’s what gamers and PlayStation fans need to know. If there was a model with a standard DVD drive, the PlayStation 3 could have shipped over a year ago, and gone head to head with the Xbox 360. Now, because of Sony’s ill-timed strategy, the console manufacturer that was the solid leader in the previous generation is running behind both Microsoft and Nintendo worldwide.

But the real question is, how does this postponed release in PAL territories affect Sony and above all the PlayStation 3?

Ken Kutaragi told Reuters earlier today that he doesn’t think “this time delay will cause serious damage to our PS3 business." He’s right, it might not cause a serious damage; it might simply kill the PlayStation business forever.

The Xbox 360 will be in its second year on the market while Nintendo will flood the market with its cheap, innovative approach to gaming. That means it will be hard for Sony to sell such an expensive console to gamers who either spent their money on Gears of War and Forza 2, purchased a Wii, or upgraded their Xbox 360 with HD DVD capabilities.

The only good thing out of this scandal is that with only 400,000 units for Noth America and 100,000 consoles for Japan, we’ll never know before next year if the PlayStation 3 sold poorly because of its high price or its scarce stock.

Kutaragi Got PWNED

Hey Ken, do you remember all the things you said about the Xbox 360? If not, let me refresh your mind:

“The Xbox 360 is Going After the PlayStation 2.”

Well Ken, at this pace, you will go after the Xbox 360…just make sure you launch the PS3 before the next round of next-gen consoles.

“The Xbox 360 won't change the type of entertainment.”

Neither will the PlayStation 3 with these constant delays, so hurry up before a cell phone can pull of PS3 graphics.

"Xbox 360 is 1.5, the PS3 is more than what I was expecting, so it's 3.5."

Yeah, you should probably name the PS3 the PS3.5 because it will launch so close to the PlayStation 4 that a 3.5 makes more sense than 3.

“The Xbox 360 is more of an Xbox 1.5 than a next generation console.”

Well Ken, the truth is that by the time you launch the PlayStation 3.5 in Europe, both AMD and Intel will be offering quad-core processors and some motherboards will support two of those processors, allowing people to have 8 cores inside their computers. Plus, both ATI and nVIDIA will be offering DirectX 10-class GPU early next year, meaning you will be the only one with an older shader architecture instead of the new unified model implemented in both Windows Vista and the Xbox 360.

Ken, now that I think about it again, you might want to rename your next-generation console as PlayStation 2.5.

Riiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaaaaacer!

I remember Kazuo Hirai saying at E3 that, "the next generation doesn't start until we say it does!"…hrmmmm, so when would that be Kaz?

Does the next generation begin this November with 400,000 consoles in North America, without Metal Gear Solid 4 or Fight Night Round 3. Oh, my bad, I forgot about Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaacer!

Ha Ha

This is what happens when you open your big mouth and talk trash about the competition. If you fail, everyone will laugh at you. This is definitely not a good start for the PlayStation 3 and if things don’t change, the PS2 successor is destined to fail. The console is expensive, delayed and will be outdated by the time it launches. Other than the Blu-ray Disc capabilities, the PlayStation 3 won’t bring anything new in terms of interactive entertainment.

Just pray Halo 3 doesn’t come up next March or green will be a color all Sony executives will forever dream with.

Better that then tossing 500k around the world. Either way some one will be pissed off and disapointed and in this case it is the folks over in Europe.
