HOW PS3 OWNERS THINK IT HAS "GONE" SO FAR FOR PS3 IN EUROPE:
"I think the whole EU thing is going to slow to a halt if Sony don’t get the price of the unit down and, more importantly, *start getting some content on the PSN store!*"
"I’m currently recommending to my friends to wait until September before buying as it *may* be cheaper and there *may* be more popular franchises available..."
"I can’t remember the last time I turned my PS3 on... The PlayStation store is bare, and the release schedule over the next few months is also empty... These are hard times for early adopters who shelled out a lot of cash to play good games as quite simply there aren’t any more to play bar those that arrived on day one."
"There are no games I am interested in released here, and absolutely zero movement on the online store, and no reason for me to turn it on at all. Sony had better pull their thumbs out if they expect me to spend any money on games."
"It’s going to be Wii60 everywhere this generation unless Sony can remove their head from a dark place and slash the price by 40 percent in all territories."
"Well my PS3 is a very bad PS2 machine at the moment because of the lack of new content since the launch I’m having to just play badly compatible PS2 games on it. Played all the launch games and I’ve already beaten Oblivion on the 360 and PC. I’m also hearing from my local game more then half the people who have bought it have taken it back and sales are around 1 per week."
"I haven’t used it for anything other than the photo album for about a month."
"We need more games, and better games, all the games that I can play right now looks like they are unfinished versions. PSN sucks, every game has his own way to invite friends, you can not chat with a friend while playing a game. Please we need something equals to Xbox Live and if you can, Better than XBL."
"Lately its just gathering dust really. No new content just a bunch of old trailers and 20 year old games no one wants to play anymore. And what about the games, seems like all the titles just keep getting pushed back and pushed back, how are SONY supposed to keep me interested in the PS3 if there is no new CONTENT. Compared to XBL the PSN is a joke, really. But after all said and done, I'm happy with my 600 euro folding machine, glad i can help Stanford university out."
"I want a PS3 - but until a significant price drop occurs there is no way I’ll be buying one... Judging by the amount available in stores, I guess I’m not the only one!"

the fact is that all consoles are lacking... we need a sega console!!!

A slow death AND squeezing extra cash out of your already near-bankrupt customers? Funny.

Impressive. Back to seeing if I can use my local celebrity status to blag one for free over here, I need something to make my dinner table level.
With the exception of that the corporation was haemorrhaging money, being outmanouevred by its competitors and was producing what they knew were over priced low quality electronics. There wasnt much coming out of R&D either and they were all pretty down about it.
Sony desperately needs PS3 and Blu Ray to be a success. Theyve got the pricing of the PS3 horribly wrong and totally ballsed up the launch in Europe.
If anyones holding shares it might be worth holding onto them though, I would expect a large sell off of a lot of sonys divisions in the near future followed by a take over of the remaining company. And Im not joking either.
For example, Sony didn't have nearly enough hardware at launch to meet consumer demand.
I know Microsoft are'nt angels, but I think they've earnt a bigger piece of the market pie now(out of Sony's share). For Wii/DS to get Geometry wars says a lot for the Wii60 movement.
Wii60 is a wipe out Sony to bring back Sega's former glory, strategy.
Sony never have needed help proving to us all that they're are a bunch of fuckwits pmsl.
Where do they get these ideas from?! There must be a load of yes men telling sony its all going great.

Lots of coverage.
As for the internets fouling up their thang, at this point you don't really need to 'do' anything to help them along to fuck-upsville, you just need to sit and watch.
zeaaoib - I can't get anything for this....
The fact the PS3 is still failing dramatically despite this makes it all so delicious somehow.
Mmmm...
fkabo: Can't think of one, but it sounds humourous.
Well, that and I'm still waiting for a mention of Sega Saturn Magazine. But I'll read these other things very happily.

We can have a UK/AUS division thanks, which simply convert the US version to PAL -simple. This problem of waiting for them to add the cost of languages really ticks me off, but DVD's are the same. It's not solely Nintendo's fault.
They should have something other than a fucking football game as online debut though, I hate the gladitorial shite, it creates violent morons who love the PS brand. '10 FIFA games for a quid mate'
At least ninty have some good ones coming up, i'm gagging to try out Dragonquest, RE:UC, Ghost squad ans Soul Calibur.
I have all the current consoles. None of them are worth my time.
This gen stinks. Microsoft think they are winners, simply because Sony have lost the plot. Nintendo have hardly any creative spark left.
All these casual Wii owners; are they gonna buy the next Nintendo console in 4years? ... Of course not. The Wii is a fad.
The 360 has some reasonable games. LiveArcade is mostly a pile of dung.
The PS3 is a joke. A train wreck.
A market crash would be a positive thing. It would wake the industry up.
I feel sick, bye!
"For me, I look forward to more creative and friendly games (I dumped Grand Theft stupid game into the dustbin with my kid - why are there so much killings? Are you guys - game developers - nuts?), and more multimedia functions."
I made two posts that were deleted for stating I wish I had just stayed with the 360!
They clearly are only looking for a certain kind of feedback...

Noting the PS3's unique approach, how do you deal with negative consumer perceptions from a public relations perspective?
That's kind of a tough question to answer. I am pretty sure if you asked just about any real gamer out there if they would like to have a PS3, their answer would be a resounding "Yes!"
He says "have" a PS3 not "buy" a PS3. I'd love to have a PS3 but i'd rather not buy it and so would many gamers.
Tavin.
