Pronto! Agora é que a Sony se espetou ao comprido:
Em entrevista ao site Gameindustry.biz, o vice da Sony Worldwide Studios Europe declarou que Esperava ter a consola debaixo da árvore de Natal, mas infelizmente isso será um privilégio dos Estados Unidos e do Japão.
Mas Jamie MacDonald mostra-se nada preocupado com o atraso.
Os consumidores têm provado que não se importam com estes adiamentos. Acabam sempre por comprar tantas ou mais consolas que os japoneses e americanos.
Bem optimista, o responsável da Sony acredita que daqui a cinco anos ninguém se lembrará que a PS3 saiu na Europa meses depois de ter chegado aos Estados Unidos e o Japão. A consola acabará por vencer devido tanto à qualidade do hardware como dos jogos.
NOTICIA COMPLETA EM INGLES:
Alright Sony, this is just getting ridiculous. It's not like you guys haven't been a featured guest in this series before, but we had no idea it was such an honor. The third "CE-Oh no" moment for Sony this week came out of the mouth of SCE World Europe VP, Jamie MacDonald, who was asked: "What would you say to consumers who like Sony and want to buy your products, but perhaps feel that because they're in Europe they're always last in line?" Apparently Jamie feels little love for his whiny constituency, since his clueless response was thus: "European consumers have shown that historically they don't mind that, because they end up buying as many PlayStations, if not more, than the US and Japan. In Europe, it doesn't seem that the release of our platforms after the US and Japan - in the long run - affects how consumers feel." We're not even sure how to respond to that, so we'll continue with more "CE-Oh no" sound bite gold from our pal Jamie. In response to a query about Sony's UMD failure, he stated: "I think you'll find in general the market for movies on discs of any type is not particularly great at the moment." Again, we really have nothing to add, so we'll just hit up one more sound bite for good time's sake. When asked about the Wii60 concept, where prospective next-gen buyers compare the price of purchasing an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii to the cost of the PS3 alone, Jamie further demonstrated his ignorance: "To be honest, I haven't heard that." Not a banner day for Sony PR by a long shot, but at least they're not trying to hide their seeming disdain for consumers and plain logic.
You know, he's probably right. But does he have to say that? And now? At TGS, I came away with a very favorable impression of the PLAYSTATION 3 console and launch titles, and I really thought Sony still could turn things around. But, why do their upper management always have to shoot their mouths off? Is the entire organization infected with a case of teh stupid?
Some one needs to get Sony a PR firm. Not that their statements are always wrong (though some are), but just because you can say something, doesn't mean you should. Case in point: Sony executive VP Jamie MacDonald had this to say when asked by GamesIndustry.biz regarding later releases (or delays) in Europe:
(...)
The man has a point. I don't think anyone remembers the PS2 being released in the US almost eight months after Japan in 2000, and Europe getting the console one month after the US. But when you specifically delay a product in a region by your mismanagement (read: PS3), don't suggest your consumers are indifferent to the blunder.
Wow. Is this another self-evident own-goal for Sony's catastrophic PR machine? Could well be. The fact that people buy PlayStations after delays doesn't mean they're not cheesed off, just that they still want one. Sony appears to care for nothing but its own bottom line, which won't sit well with hardcore gamers, who are swiftly losing interest in the Sony platform, especially given the WiiSixty Christmas that is on the horizon.
Well, we may have bought as many PSOne's and PS2's as the Japanese and Americans, but I'm not sure about that PS3 to be honest. PSOne and PS2 had continuously good comments while PS3's press has been quite negative and I'm sure that the delay in Europe together with the high price will no doubt have its effect in sales
What do you think of the Wii-60 concept - the suggestion that for the same price as a PS3, consumers could pick up a Nintendo Wii and an Xbox 360? Is that something that concerns you?
To be honest, I haven't heard that...
(como é possivel?...este produtor executivo não existe).

Escusado será dizer que todos os foruns relativos a jogos, começaram a discutir estas afirmações ridicula que gozam claramente com o consumidor.
