The PS3 sold 33.5 million units in less than 3 years of availability in most of the world.

The US and Japan are still the two largest national markets worldwide for userbase of game consoles.  "Most of the world" is being a bit disingenuous, in "most of the console market" PS3 was released in 2006.  And looking at actual sellthrough (ie: "sold"), PS3 still isn't at 33.5m yet.

Europe has become Sony's strongest market and consoles are gaining steam here (the PC gaming market has significantly declined, in the NES era a relatively much larger share of gamers were using home computers instead). And the rest of the world combined can easily rival Japan for the long term.

Mike, don't call Europe "Most of the world". That makes americans irritated.
