That was months ago!

The big fiasco about Sony having troubles with the manufacture of the Blu-Ray diode is what wrecked their perfect idea of a worldwide launch.

Were it not for the diode Japan would have had a million units, America a couple of million, Europe a couple of million, and the rest of the world a million.

As it is that was cut to 80,000 for Japan, 20,000 for Hong Kong and Taiwan on the 17th, and 400,000 for NA on the 17th... and yet Sony are still adamant that they will reach their target of 2 million targets sold by the end of December, and 6 million sold by the end of the fiscal year on March 31st.

Umm silly Rabbit, reports said Japan had recieved there 100,000 units as previosly planned.

Sony are also planning to release a 100,000 consoles per month after launch as well, so it should be good.

The damn diode shortages...its difficult to produce the Blu-ray diodes cause they need some special crystals and some shit to make them and they couldn't get enough, they even delayed there BD Players just for the PS3.

The Japanese were lined up, I mean 2000+ people line ups for the console at single stores...everybody there seemed to want one.

Ooh? So they DID get their 100,000 after all?

Lucky them.

I didn't know that the manufacture of BD Players has been delayed. That IS something. Looks like Sony will do anything to get the PS3 out.

Ooooh! It's been confirmed that on Nov 17th everyone in the "Europe" territory (Europe, China, Australia, and anywhere else without a console) will be able to register their Gamertags on the PS3 store using their PC.

I dare any of you to take Lenny!

And here's an interesting yet spooky article comparing the PS2 launch to the PS3 launch.

1up, ign and all of them have been bashing the PS3 from the very beginning.

From the beginning, maybe, but I've been reading more and more on the sites that is praising the PS3.

Sure, they all find the odd fault with this that and the other, but they're the same faults that the pro-PS3 camp has been finding. Minor things like:

- Controller being very light
- Trigger buttons being smooth and slippery
- Dirty fingerprints on the console

I've got a friend who hates the PS3 (surprise surprise, he's a 360 fanboy), yet he keeps on sending me articles from places like 1up and IGN (his favourite ghaming sites), and more increasingly the articles have been positive.

EDIT: May be because I'm reading IGN UK etc. They like it: http://uk.ps3.ign.com/launchguide/hardware1.html
