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. |
I think you got this all wrong, it's not about the percentage there is for PS3 owners in a certain country but it is about the market share in a country. For example, you can't really compare the percentage of PS3 owners in Japan to the percentage of PS3 owners of UK because it's not the home consoles which are dominating in Japan but the handhelds. That's the reason why we can't use that, all we know PS3 and Wii are strong in Japan despite the handhelds becoming the main focus of Japanese developers and gamers.
