I just came back from a 1 month vacation in Iran, the situation seems to be a little different there than in most countries due to boycotts, lack of company focus and/or other issues.

PS2, PSP and PC copies seem to rule the retail shops near completely, I was actually quite amazed by the extend, the only original games I could find were a few dozen PS3 games in some major game retail stores and Sony centers (PS3 is often used to show off Bravia TV sets). People love soccer there as well, how many times people approached me and starting to talk about Holland's performance at Euro 2008.

Everything else (including movies and music) seem to be cracked and copied en masse, sold in nearly all other software and media shops, this complete with unofficial redone packaging and official looking CD logos. Apart from PS3 games I only found one DS cartridge being sold at one shop within Tehran's most important shopping center.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales
