That's a reduction of 20 per cent on the original allocation of 100,000 units. More info here: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/10/31/sony_ps3_japan_allocation/ That's kind of unlucky for Sony really, but good for nintendo >_> seeing as they're over prepped for launch « Last Edit: October 31, 2006, 04:23:36 pm by Dayjo » Logged

Ironic, really... Logged

A better idea for their marketing would be to step out until they reach atleast a million Ps3's then release it. That way they don't have direct competition against Nintendo and won't run out in the first 10 minutes it is available to the public. Logged

Sony's other divisions have been sputtering for years, who are you kidding. Analysts have been saying Sony's future hinges on the PS3 for a long time...
