Because price is not a factor in Europe. You can't say "PS3 didn't perform as well because the price was too high" because the price for the most part has been close to and either lower or higher than the historical PS2 price there. Price factor removed. It means you can look at other factors without running in circles saying the price was too high the price was too high... Since the system launched later with quality content coming quicker then you can somewhat remove the lateness of some of the software as Uncharted 1 for example was only 6 months later and I believe Oblivion was a launch title. So therefore you can look at the difference between the PS2 and PS3 in Europe and say this rough percentage is the difference caused by competition and then anything greater than that in other regions you can say the difference is the price. So if the PS3 is 30% down in Europe and 50% down in the U.S. you can say that roughly 30% of the reduced sales of the PS3 relative to the PS2 was competitor actions and 20% was due to a higher launch price and higher price thereafter.

you can but it's just a guess.
that does not take away the price was not a factor. How could it.
for example
was the xbox360 in the market before the playstation 3 was released there ?
and by how long?
was the xbox360 on the market before the Playstation 3 hit in europe
would you say that when the xbox360 released, that the Playstation 2's graphic's were seen as dated?
so when the xbox360 was released what was the price of the PS2 at the time when the xbox360 when it was released?
would you say that people viewed the price of the xbox360 a better deal over the PS2?
for everything you get.
now apply those very same thing's to the PS3 vs' the xbox360, was the xbox360 cheaper than the playstation 3 when it was first released?
so the point being is Price of a system and it's function's and what software it has out when it get's released vs preception of what the system is worth play's a big part no matter what region your in. would you agree with that ?
