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?

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!

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.
