"at the end of the day, when people see how advanced this system is, the snags we may have encountered along the way, will quickly fade into the past."
IGN: Despite the fact that you're sticking to the "six million units by the end of the fiscal year", there have been reports that only 400,000 units will be available in North America on November 17th and 100,000 units in Japan. Are these reports true?
Dave Karraker: At a media meeting this morning in Japan, Ken Kutaragi confirmed that there would be 400,000 units at launch for North America and 100,000 units in Japan. The North American number is just below what we had available at launch for PS2 and is higher than what Microsoft had for Xbox 360. More importantly, in my mind, is that we will have 1 to 1.2 million units available by December 31 in North America. This is more than double what Xbox 360 sold through during the same period (TRST data) and should assure there aren't significant stock dips at retail.
GUESS WHAT, DAVE? YOU'VE HAD AN ENTIRE YEAR MORE THAN 'MS' DID TO GET PRODUCTION GOING........AND YOU STILL ARE ONLY BEATING 'MS'S #S, BY SAYING "F*** YOU, EUROPE", AND MAKING THEM WAIT ANOTHER 4 MONTHS!
OH, AND BTW.........AT NO POINT, DID THE INTERVIEWER MENTION THE '360', OR IT'S LAUNCH #S/PROBLEMS......NOT ONE SINGLE TIME. I LOVE HOW 'SONY' JUST AUTOMATICALLY FALLS BACK TO THAT "ATTACK MODE", RATHER THAN ADDRESS THEIR OWN PROBLEMS.
