30k boost? These countries didn't have lifetime sales of 30k... how they even together can sell 30k


Come on. The Scandinavian countries together are more than a 30% of the population of the UK, and I doubt the number of units sold / capita is any less than the UK. The PS4 already sold a million units in the UK, so it stands to reason that it already sold several hundred thousand units in Scandinavia alone. Add in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland and you got a market with roughly as many potential buyers as the UK.


X1 is not the PS4......ps4 outsells x1 5 - 6:1 in many of these places.

Sure. But 30k launch week with a market of 60 million potential buyers with fat wallets and another 130 million with thinner wallets isn't PS4 pace. Think about it. Launch week for the Xbox One with 190 million Europeans customers and it still got beat by the PS4 10k for Europe as a whole.
