Yeah, totally pay off. Those are large markets and once the PS3 is cheap enough the sales will really start to rocket. These markets are developing very quickly, in the order of 6-10% per year. These markets are probably the source of all the overall undertracking of PS3 / PSP / PS2 sales etc. They will definately help them next generation, by the time a next gen PS4 is out they may account for 10-20% of overall sales and Sony may account for 70% or more of that growing percentage. Though in the nearer term it is more going to help the PS3 as they get that price down to $199.

Yeah, I've really been noticing more lately how many times Sony gets undertracked comparedto the others.  Perhaps ioi having to adjust every few weeks for unexpected gains in small countries?  Hopefully Sony can pull off a simultaeous release in those places too instead of making them wait.  What a novel strategy lol, you wanna get more sales, make a new market!  In a funny way they are doing what Ninty did in getting casuals and expanding, except Sony is scouring places for more casuals and core players lol.  I'm really interested in this actually.

Not really small countries, just sort of countries off the beaten track like India where they reported something like 350,000 sales recently. But yeah, Sony's idea of success does seem to be large unit sales and market share which explains why they are the only console company which has cut the price seemingly for the hell of it. I don't think Microsoft follows this strategy really because they could have cut the price a lot more aggressively and yet they chose not to. Nintendo obviously doesn't do this either.
