The Playstation 3 goes on sale in Japan on Saturday with a sell-out expected.

Check out the Headline for more info.

Perhaps there were 2 queues outside the store... one who PS3 fans and one for the public toilets and the interviewer picked the wrong guy to quote?

lmao that was quality

[YorkieBen]

of course it will sell out, Japan aren't even getting that many because Sony want the PS3 to sell loads in the USA to stop the Xbox 360

Yeah you're right about them losing money on each one but they will also claw it back in licensing.

Did anybody see the BBC report and discussion on Breakfast this morning? They seem far from convinced despite impartiality!

what id they exactly 'discuss', the games industry and television just dont mix so im wondering what was actually said.

Female presenter tried to play it but got stuck, I think it was Excite truck.

And other than they just talked about whats inside in non-techy language, the cost and the rivals. Unsuprisingly no mention of the stupid quotes we keep getting.
