Sony
acknowledges 3.0 OS problems
Finally
some
good news for Sony: the sales of the new PlayStation 3 slim model have
been very good in both Japan and Europe. In Japan alone, the company was able
to move 150,252 consoles in the first three days of release.
The
PS3 Slim launch in Japan
was less than ideal, according to our sources. A lack of product, coupled with
a poor advertising effort for the launch, causes a number of problems for
Japanese retailers selling the new console.
All
is not right in Sony PS3 land, however, with a number of users reporting
problems with the latest 3.0 code and Uncharted when playing it with the
DualShock 3 controller. Sony claims that they are aware of the reports and the
potential problems, but they are still investigating and will provide an update
when they know what the issue is.
