Oh, Sony, Sony where art thou? Europe apparently doesn't want Sony's expensive PlayStation 3, with the French organizers describing the Paris launch of the PS3 a "non-event".
As expected, Sony fans here in Europe turned out to be not so "true-blue" to their favorite brand, some of them starting to bash Sony for its "infatuation" and for the high price established in the PAL areas for the PS3.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
Its like this website (N4G) hates the PS3. All i see is BASH after BASH.
whats up with this website man. are you all sony haters...geez
And i want to see the sony fanboys spin this one into a positive
The only one guilty of spin is the writer of the article. He headlines PS3 launch a disaster 95% of Consoles Left Unsold. Well its accuarate if you take only the numbers that where sold at the one location 50 out of 1000, if those are to believed. However he did say another location sold under 300 so thats what 20 to 30% depending on the actual number. Not to mention with everyone know how many systems where available and all the preorders why would anyone show up at midnight ravinous to get one when they can simply go in the next day and pick one up? Lets wait till the offical sales numbers come out before resorting to sensational headlines clearly distorting the facst only to drive trafic to your website so you can make money :P
Unlike every other system release including Sony's stateside / JPN release the was a crapload of them. Most people who were going to get them just preordered and picked them up instore.
Be hard to have 95% left if 60% of the countries allocation was preordered wouldn't it:

Chalk it up to shoddy journalism.
I'm sorry to say it, but although this article is a little harsh, at the same time, I dont think its harsh because the writer hates Sony. I think its harsh because he was so disappointed at the poor turnout. I had a feeling the Eurpoean launch wouldnt be the resounding success that everyone was predicting. After all, who could be happy having to wait like that? And with the bad news about the console, I have a feeling a lot of people just didnt wait. Even with "bad sales" though, this will help Sony close the gap, although maybe not as much as they had hoped.
Edit: I'd like to add, it isnt unreasonable to quote the numbers from the launch near the Eiffle tower, right? I mean, that had to be their flagship launch in France.
