40K for a Western country with 60 million people. The total European shipment should be around 250 K then (I'm thinking rufly 6 times France shipment).

Should be way higher... Dont tell me you think its gonna be lower than Japan ??

100K for UK, 70K for Germany, 40K for France, 40K for Italy, 40K for Spain.

Give or take. Now you add all the others countries...

Nah only Germany's PC market is a lot bigger than France's.
If France gets 40k Germany "should" get 30k, Italy and Spain 20-25k, UK also more like 80k.

250k doesn't sound that far off.

Since the original shipment was at 80K for France, your scheme might look more like:

Germany gets 60K, Italy/Spain 40-50K, UK gets 160K. Then add the reduced 40K for france.

340-360K. Originally it would've been maybe 380-400K.

Japan's original shipment was 400K for the wifi model I think, 700K for both models. So why would sony ship so much less for Europe than for Japan? Would the holiday season explain it?

Edit: Read my first question to be "Ship less for Europe than Japan, in proportion to population and general sales market ration Europe vs Japan".
