Yesterday Sony dropped the bomb that they'd be delaying the PS3 launch in Europe and halving worldwide shipments for 2006 from 4 million to 2 million. So just how many of those 2 million are coming to North America? A Sony spokesperson told MTV News that instead of focusing on those day-one numbers, we should be looking at the 1 million to 1.2 million units available by the end of this year.
Now, we know the armchair analysts (and even some real ones) are getting all doom and gloom about the PS3's holiday prospects in light of today's announcements, but let's throw some context at the mess and see if we can't make this lump of coal shine. The Sony spokesperson was quick to point out the similarities between the PS3's impending launch and the now dominant PS2's launch back in 2000, which also shipped with a fraction of what was expected.

Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Gametime's first ever come-back in favor of sony with evidence and proof that even with all bad news and everything Sony has lied about PS3 n' all, They will still have more units on launch over 360, and more units by the end of 2006 than Xbox 360 did. Question is what will happen after the holidays after the initial launch of PS3's are gone, i dont tihnk too many people will be buying them then.
I'm seriously considering getting one to sell on eBay now.
So why did they state in the other more official comment it will only be 400.000? MTV is less reliable I guess
If you know that Sony is going to lose, then why are u here just to post denial? Its pointless. We Sony fans do not go into the X Box 360 forums and say this news about the 360 is BS or that one is bs. All you guys do is BS and say thats a lie and have doubts when the news for PS3 is good news. But when its bad news all u 360 fans do is egg it on and start saying oh thats true and all. This needs to stop. I guess your X Box 360s are'nt entertaining u enough that u have to come here everyday and post. And you 360 fans talk about sad Sony is?....pfft. Atleast have something decent to say. This is another reason why I do not like MS or the 360. Because of u ignorant 360 fans ruin it. Just like in X Box live ur all the same. No respect whatsoever. So what do you think now? I bet you 360 fans are denying the news here eh? And the news before u really believe it. You really put so much faith in the bad news. I have no interest in MSs consoles. They're done. The future is almost here, with The PLAYSTATION 3!
You sound deperate bro...take a chill pill.
MS don't need fools to play it's console. Unlike sonyfanboys we have amind of our own and can think for ourselves rather than relying on Master ken your savior.
sonyfanboys are the most ignorant on here. Lets see your really not helping "sony" cause or your cult.
After all its only a gamesystem..with some type of war in fanboys puny brains.
