as UK is a small market

overtracking/undertracking byt more than say 20K is worthy of an adjustment imo


UK is a small market?.........How did nobody else pick up this?

The UK performs better then Japan in the console market now days, does that make Japan a small market? In fact UK is now the 2nd biggest console market in the world.

Compare just 2009 sales

Wii = 822k in UK and 484k in Japan  = UK sold 338k more or 69% more then Japan.

PS3 = 282k in UK and 503k in Japan = UK sold 221k less or 43% less then Japan.

360 = 416k in UK and 198k in Japan = UK sold 218k more or 47% more then Japan.

PS2 = 101k in UK and 128k in Japan = UK sold 27k less or  21% lss then Japan.

Total for console sales 2009 = 1.621m Console sales in UK and 1.313m console sales in Japan. Meaning UK has sold 308k or 20% more consoles then Japan.

Considering Japan has a 127m population and UK has a 61m population that puts it in even bigger context.

So it would be interesting to know how you define small market exactly as im guess you are comparing to a country with a population of over 300m people?
