@Grimes: I don't put any word in YOUR mouth, I'm talking about this article, this thread, explaining why it doesn't make sense at all in my opinion.

My point about this Gamasutra article is they're taking NPD numbers and use it to conclude something about the PS3, while as I just showed, the US is not at all Sony PS3 main market, since it sells a lot more elsewhere...

 

And I'll say again, the US is the biggest single country video game market in the world. It represents close to a third of global video game sales. The US may not be the PS3's best market, but it SHOULD be if it wants to be the global leader.

Not to mention that it's way more then a third of global sales when it comes to software.

North America is still by far THE market to win.  No offense to the Playstation, since it's doing quite well considering all the missteps in it's creation and launch.

It shows how powerful the Playstation name is that it could withstand all the mismanagement and not pull a Saturn or Gamecube.
