Ever considered the market? How many units does the UK move versus the US and Japan? I'd assume that they release in the largest markets first, and send the first few batches there, then move on as time progresses. They probably do not have the means to launch a worldwide release, and have sufficient systems enough to even scratch the surface of all of the markets.
That's just an educated guess though.

PS3 not even out in the UK til at least March 2007
Missing the christmas frenzy.
XBOX will rule the roost this christmas in the UK. Sony are losing alot of money by holding back the launch.
It really annoys me that they don't just launch worldwide at the same time. Japan has had it for a while now, you guys get it this month and we have to wait another 6 months???
Where is the logic?
They complain about people importing them and have taken 1 website to court over PSP importing but they still defer launch in the UK for long after the rest of the world.

ebay is going to limit how many PS3's are put up for sale in the next few months. I think thats just freakin crazy, but there is an article on it on CNN.com. Too lazy to post a link tho. In my newest EGM, one of the letters states that some guy sold his spot in line for 600 dollars to reserve a PS3 at EB games. Word...

These are the launch titles for the PS3 :
Call of Duty 3 (PS3; also PS2, Xbox, X360, last week; PSP TBA)
Genji: Days of the Blade (PS3)
Madden NFL 07 (PS3; also PS2, Xbox, GCN, X360, NDS, PSP, GBA, PC in Aug. '06)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (PS3; also PS2, Xbox, X360, GBA, PC last month; Wii next week)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire (PS3; also X360 TBA)
NBA 07 (PS3; also PS2, PSP in Sep. '06)
NBA 2K7 (PS3; also PS2, Xbox, X360 in Sep. '06)
Need for Speed Carbon (PS3; also PS2, Xbox, GCN, X360, NDS, PSP, GBA, PC in Oct. '06; Wii)
NHL 2K7 (PS3; also Xbox, X360 in Sep. '06; PS2 in Oct. '06)
Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)
Riiiiidge Racer 7 (PS3)
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 (PS3; also PS2, Xbox, X360, PSP, PC in Oct. '06)
Tony Hawk's Project 8 (PS3; also PS2, Xbox, X360 this month; PSP TBA)
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (PS3)
90% of the games are available on other systems, and none of those impress me enough to spend $500 on the PS3. That's a pretty ****ty launch list if you ask me. No Metal Gear, or anything worth a damn.
Sucks to be a camper.
edit: saw the gears of war trailer that lagos posted, that looks bad assed. i hope they port it to PC.

totally agree, those are some pretty dismal launch titles (to me anyway)
to be honest I have no idea how someone could spend so much money on a piece of plastic with some silicon chips that will depreciate faster than you can enjoy it
up here it is retailing for $649
what a waste of money, jeez!

xbox 360 is awesome with HD. PS3 will always be Piece of S*** they just added a number to this one and the last one. Xbox on the other hand is revolutionary! wow wow wow xbox is king.
Did anyone else hear that Sony is releasing 1million more units in February, at $200 under launch price..?

my buddy jsut got one today. stayed up for like 34 hrs lol in line haha. going right on ebay.
Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
Eh, I don't know the validity of it. I heard it through my mom, whom heard it through the local news.
I just honestly think it's funny that probably over 75% of the people buying one, are buying one to resell it. So, those chonches aren't gonna make as much money as they are hoping to.
And yes, the Xbox 360 on HDTV is simply amazing. I just moved from a PS2, to an Xbox 360. Then, after playing the Xbox 360 through a damn RF Coax hook-up, because I'm hood like that, I moved up to a 32" Magnavox LCD HDTV.
mmmmm. 1080i Xbox Live. Gears of War. mmmmm.

Honestly, from what I have been reading, it is sounding like a horrible launch. Bunch of PS3s breaking and such. Gotta love my 360.

I went to Target and saw a box. Didn't ask anything about it and went to look to see if they had any Wiis'. Went back to the other side and it turns out to be a PS3 that was just sold when I took a second look. I was so close to it. lol.
