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.

Ok. PS3 needs sell more in UK or France? It's obvious for me... PS3 needs to steal market in UK, not in France.

That doesn't make sense?
Maybe i am being thick here but why does the PS3 need to steal the UK market and not the French market? France has a 3m+ more people living there then the UK but yet has 2% lower PS3 sales then the UK. If a country has a lower population but higher sales then another country that does not make it "weak". It makes it a strong region because it is selling above the average %. Countries like France should be selling a lot more PS3's because they are dominantly pro Sony, the other console (360) is way down the list in that region. PS3 almost doubling the 360 numbers weekly there.
As the figures show if you look at it in a population to console ratio the PS3 is doing much better in the UK then the other countries including Japan and US.
