Well, at least it printed more money and sold better in Japan - which as we all know, is the market that matters!

I dunno, I think everywhere but America, Europe and Japan all East is very important to, it's an untapped market that the PS2 helped grow tremendously.

Pos	Platform	North America	Europe	Japan	Rest of World	Global
1	PlayStation 2 (PS2)	53.65	53.28	23.18	23.57	153.68
2	Nintendo DS (DS)	55.15	51.23	33.01	12.43	151.82

The PSP is actually second place for the "Rest of World" category with 12.84 million, very impressive.

Yeah, that's what I always say: Sony has an advantage in worldwide distribution channels. They need them not only for video-game-equipment, they also can sell other electronics. That's makes it easier for them, to enter a new market. Nintendo has to bank on partners, it's much harder for them to build up a distribution-channel to a new country, if they only can deliver vg-consoles and games.

This advantage of Sony is against Nintendo, other players might have a similar distribution-network. If Samsung or Apple enter, they may have the same advantage.
