Despite the talk of massive layoffs, Sony and Howard Stringer seem to be pleased to death about the launch of the PlayStation 3 in Europe. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, right Howie? From Next Gen:
Sony chief executive Howard Stringer yesterday said the PS3 has sold 800,000 units in Europe. Speaking at the global launch of Spider-Man 3, he said the machine had “lived up to the expectations in Europe in a way that perhaps we didn't in Japan.” He said it had avoided “perception” problems in Europe that it had faced elsewhere.
Perhaps when a stronger lineup of games starts to present itself, then maybe the PS3 will actually end up back on the positive side once again. Then again, maybe pigs will fly south for the winter as well.

I'm not hating, I'm asking...
It's still kind of a sparse year for the PS3, but that's to be expected, and Wii is in pretty much the exact same position. The only console that's hit its stride is the 360. I bet the Wii, and to some extent the PS3, will take off towards the end of '07 into '08.
What, by not tellign anybody you were releasing a console?
I keep looking @ lair and one part of me says: yes, its original, need to get! other says, "those rumors keep me from getting it... ugh"
