IMVHO Sony paid a lot PS3's partial and supply constrained launch. Early adopters bought it all around the world despite its high price, selling to european ones too since its first Christmas would have accelerated take-off more than linearly, as Christmas sales are higher everywhere and the higher initial boost would have anticipated the first price cuts too, after which sales increased. All this would have increased title releases and perhaps saved some exclusive too, adding benefit.
