Have to say i do laugh when i read people saying stuff like "Weakest region" when talking about the UK PS3 numbers.

Because it is like saying a country with 5 people who all buy a ps3 = best region! Which is tarded.... That isn't how the real world works.

Some people say France is one of the best regions for PS3. It has a population of 65m. UK has a population of 63m. But yet the UK has sold 4m and in France it has sold 3m. if you look at it in a % terms in the UK 6.3% of the population own a PS3. In France 4.6% own a PS3.
You can do the same for all the other countries.
Japan = 128m population. 6.8m PS3's sold = 5.3% of the population own a ps3.
US = 312m population. 17m PS3's sold = 5.4% of the population own a PS3.
Germany = 82m population. 2.7m PS3's sold. = 3.2% of population own a PS3.
Italy = 62m population. 2.3m PS3's sold = 3.7% of population own a PS3
etc etc etc

In terms of the percentage of population that own a PS3 UK is the highest in the world based on the tracked nations.
Saying it is a "weak region" is pretty laughable when you look at it like that.
