@Kas : Nobody said the US didn't matter. PS3 is doing more or less fine there too anyway since the slim. It sells the same as the 360 in the US now in hardware.

My point was you can't analyze anything just considering the US for the PS3 since it accounts for a third of its sales...

People usually analyze based on WAY less then a third of something.

If you could even get a third of something there wouldn't be much need to Analyze.

 

Also, the US is more then a third when it comes to the revenue market.  The US moves way more software per system then europe or Japan (at least according to the numbers I can find on this site.)
