Bullshit. He actually means

'We need to beat X360'

Which doesn't translate into weak at all.

“History has shown us that once you get to £199 you hit lift off. We can do some serious business and this kick-starts that. Getting to £199 was a defining moment for the PSone and PS2 – this will be no different.“

Except the PS1 and PS2 were dominant consoles, the PS3 isn't, and won't beat the 360 this holiday.

I don't want to enter an argument about whether it's their weakest market or not (I didn't participate in the dabate in the other thread). But weak is just context-based.

It's their strongest market when compared to other european markets. It's their weakest when compared to their competition in a particular market.

That's about it. No need to take it too seriously.

I get the context, it's still stupid though. There is a threshold and just because the competitors are at a certain level, doesn't mean they even have the opportunity to get to that level.

They probably don't. But that doesn't mean they are not weak(er) against the competition in the UK.
