The PS3 has finally hit our shores and it looks like at this rate sony might be having there first big flop since they started in the gaming industry.
The console went on sale at midnight last night with there being a big event at the virign megastore in oxofrd street, however it was'nt as big as Sony hoped with only 100 people turning up however the lucky people did'nt just walk away with the console they also got a brand new sony tv and a cab home so there gifts would'nt be stolen.
Now this sounds nice however with only 100 console selling at the main launch this was nowhere near the amount microsoft or nintendo shifted on there launch.
Just to rub salt in the wound for sony only 65 consoles out of 1000 was sold at the french launch and only 80 people turned up to the launch in australia with the press and radio DJ's causing the most noise so it would look and sound like the launch was going really well.
So is this going to be the biggest main stream flop in console history or will sony console start selling like hot cakes, well only time will tell but i think that if sony manage to shift 6 million units by the end of next year i will be shocked
