And if we go by vgchartz how much consoles have Sony send to "others"???
Total= 2.4M - USA 1.32M - Europe 0,82M leaving no more than 240k for others... So I wouldn't say it can be said it is a big cost in US to earn the smaller countries for the rest of the gen.
And In the same way Kowen, why didn't you asked why didn't MS just launched in US since they are losing everywhere else by a long shot??? Maybe They could have 2M in US against 1.3M of Sony an then would be forcing Sony... the way its now, it seems like MS and Sony is keeping supply to US (MS a little better) while Sony is outsupplying it everywhere else.
