As far as I'm concerned, Europe was the absolute right choice to cut anything from because when it comes to gaming, North America>Japan>Europe ------Signature-------

Walk into an El Corte Ingles (Spain’s flagship retailer) or FNAC (a leading media entertainment retailer) in Valencia and you will see about 67% of video game shelf space given over to Sony products, with another 25% reserved for Nintendo’s portable game systems. Valencia even has entire Sony Stores devoted to Sony products. The PlayStation 2 practically defines mass market video games in Spain (and much of Europe) with its casual party franchises like Singstar and Buzz. In other words, Sony has been absolutely dominant in Spain and most of Europe. All that is now at risk with Sony’s PlayStation 3 strategy." "At 600 euro, the PS3 would be more than 35% of the monthly household income of a family in Valencia. Combined with the 2000 euro for an HDTV that could take advantage of Blu-Ray and four games, the total cost could top 15% of a family yearly income." More here EDIt: Yes, this article is mostly about price, but still, pretty interesting.

Many people were waiting for a price drop or bugs to get worked out or w/e so yea. I know I wouldn't switch consoles just because I had to wait a few months. ------Signature-------

Besides we would never beat Japan without E3. I'm going by sales, not just stereotyping. If you think Japan is a big gaming party, have you seen Korea? They have several teams that travel the world just to play games, and they get rich from it. Btw, United States beat Korea in a Socom 2 online tournament ------Signature-------
