But if these countries sell more slowly, wouldn't they alse require less stock?
That's my point, if you sell less units you order less. You don't need 1m PS3's if you need 1 year to sell them.
I don't think Sony wants outdated PS3's in these countries either, so they must be aiming at a similar shipping rate.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
