Wii is doing respectable considering it has basically no games right now. PS3 is doing ok, but lest we forget, it is available in more markets in EMAA, so it's almost automatically going to win every week here on out, thus is deserves to be judged more harshly IMO. The question will be by how much will it win EMAA each week.


No one is going to buy something they don't want regardless of where it's available.

Yeah but the point is its available in markets where the Wii and 360 aren't hence part of the reason why its selling better in EMEAA.

Really??  The EMEAA countries that x360 are not sold in (probably due to US export bans) are not exactly economic powerhouses where it's citizens have cash to burn but are some of the poorest countries out there.

Sony will be lucky to sell 100 PS3s in these countries in a lifetime. That's why they still push the PS2 in these countries.

The overwhelming number of consoles sold in EMEAA are in the first world countries of Europe and Asia.

I won't call Iran an important PS3 market. Probably be lucky to find a handful there. So I don't see that benefiting the x360 which doesn't sell there.
