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.

Think about it too.

20k boost in 4 countries that didn't even have a stable local gaming market.

And about your 190 million Europeans customers... Brazil have this sames size of people, and it is in the TOP10 gaming market in the world... PS4/XB1 together didn't sold 30k at launch.

Scandinavia, Benelux and Switzerland all have somewhat higher BNP/capita than Brazil my friend. Especially Norway and Switzerland.... You're dealing with 60 million people with on average higher purchasing power than the UK and Japan.

Selling ~25k in those countries on launch week is neither surprising or impressive. Chalk the other 5k up to Turkey, Poland, Portugal, Greece etc with way above 100 million people.
