no it doesn't matter, it will have no significant impact this gen at all.  Population is meaningless, there is only hope for the future. 
Do you have any idea how much a PS3 costs for someone in Malaysia or Thailand?  You could have enough money to pay for food and a place to live for half a year or buy a ps3.  Don't even get me started on games. 

that's like saying " do not release the system in a region because not everyone can get it" yea no duh, the average person may not but the market is still there and , and that thinking of it will have no significant impact this generation at all, way to go..yea lets ignore any market that you do not deem as significant. there is a term for that but Im not going to say it, but what I will say is this, if the people who felt that way running companies nothing would ever be done to expand your market .

and just because there may not be the number of people /pop that cannot get the PS3 does not mean you should ignore the region like it does not matter.

the wii so far  has  launched in 38 countries world wide

the playstation 3 so far has launched in 36 countries world wide

the xbox360 so far has launched in 21 countries world wide

so don't tell me it does not matter!

Just give it up already, it doesn't matter as far as we're concerned.  We were having a conversation about sales and you brought this up as a reason for longevity.  As far as this conversation is concerned this is not even slightly significant at all.  It is worth doing for Sony to get a few bucks and hope that maybe in the future the economy will improve and piracy will be broken.  For this gen in this conversation we were having it is NOT significant.  It is not even worth replying to honestly.  I didn't say they shouldn't it, i said it is not significant for this conversation.
