Seems pretty self explanitory. Part of the reason PS3 does better in EMEAA region is it is available in more countries in that region. Perfectly reasonable conclusion and I don't think anyone would deny that (I'd hope not anyway) |
And no one can deny that normally no one is going to buy something they don't want which is my point. We don't know how sales would be if the Wii and Xbox 360 were sold in other EMEAA markets to compete with PS3 sales. The original statement commented on was:
"but lest we forget, it [PS3] 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."

...which the opposite can be concluded that if the Wii and Xbox 360 were also in those market, the PS3 will NOT win EMEAA. That's the faulty logic of the quoted statement. Something isn't gong to sell if it's the only choice. Something is going to sell if it's desired enough. I cannot gauge the intent and priorities of consumers and why they would buy one console over another in the EMEAA countries only offering the PS3. But the basic principle still stands that if you don't want it, you don't buy it. And yo_john can reiterate Metallicube's point over and over again. But it will not make it more valid until we have something specific to support such a vague claim.
