PS3 Aussie & Euro Launch Whimpers
The PS3 has now launched worldwide, having recently sneaked into Australia and Europe, sneaked being the operative word, left many stores quite barren. Not barren of PS3′s, because there is certainly enough stock to go around, but barren of patrons.
It appears despite preordering, and all the maddness associated with the PS3 launch in North America, the launch was not so exciting. Heck, the one thing PS3 at least had was a crazy launch. Granted, eBayers won’t be making a buck this time around and Christmas is already long gone, but these may be telling signs of things to come.
According to the Herald, the Myer’s Pitt St store which held the official launch event only contained 40 people, which apparently was a problem for the media who convinced the small crowd to fake cheer for their cameras.
