Gizmondo Europe has announced that it has started to ship some of the 560,000 pre-orders that have been placed for the unit since it was made available for pre-order on the website on October 29th 2004. The 560,000 figure which the company is keen to emphasise is quite impressive, but whether or not each of those pre-orders results in a sale remains to be seen.
“The site will continue to take orders as the pan-European retail rollout commences, and we will ship to customers on a first-come-first-served basis,” said Carl Freer, Co-founder and Chairman of Tiger Telematics. “We’re visibly gathering momentum in the UK and that will naturally have a spill-over effect on to mainland Europe. Streetdate announcements will follow shortly detailing the pan-European launch diary and heavy hitting marketing campaigns planned for each territory.”
We will bring you more news on the Gizmondo in the coming weeks, hopefully including some real sales figures.
