Playstation 4 sales start in Europe

As you know, last Friday, November 29, sales of the Playstation 4 game console began in Europe, to which Russia belongs. Let's see what this event looked like in different countries.

In Italy, the launch of the PS4 took place with a special scale. The company Sony Computer Entertainment Europe staged a grand light show on the background of the Castle of St. Angel using a complex system of powerful projectors. By the way, it was in this castle that you could visit during the passage of the video game Assassins Creed 2. You can see a tiny part of this view in the video below.

In Germany, the launch of the PS4 was probably the craziest and unpredictable of all European countries. The hype was so high that more than 1,000 people gathered on the square in front of the central branch of the Sony Store.

In electronics stores, like the Media Markt, people literally rushed like a herd of crazed animals, trying to grab the cherished game console earlier than others. As it was, you can see in the video below, and at once I apologize for the poor quality of the recording, as people filmed what was happening with their not very advanced cell phones.

They say that in one of the German shops there was even a fight between several guys for the right to own the last console in the shop window. But, fortunately, there were no casualties, and law enforcement officers dragged the instigators of the disorder in different directions.

And this is how people buy Playstation 4 in France.

In the UK, everything went quite officially and without excessive pathos. The British did not fight for the console, and they behaved much more adequately.

The console was launched also in Russia, and the residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg could purchase the console on November 28, Thursday, a day before the rest of Europe. But everything happened much more modestly. In large electronics stores like "M-Video" and "White Wind", a lot of people gathered to buy a set-top box. True, no one showed any light shows for Russian buyers, and none of the Russians began to fight for the right to own the console.
