so ps4 ist still selling more than 50% of its units in countries, that are not us, uk and japan. that seems reasonable for launch. but for the whole time of the gen? last gen ps3 sold 50% in us+uk and japan but was very weak in the us and uk this gen ps4 sold less than 50% in us+uk+japan, while being the #1 console in that countries
thats my point. hard to belive

You have got great data, but I thnk you are interpreting it wrong.
as you said, last gen PS3 sold 50% in US+UK+Jap but was weak in US nd UK compared to the 360, but still somehow won the gen.
This gen, PS$ is selling less than 50% in US+UK+jap....
What you are missing is that this simply all means that the rest of the world and other EU territories are adopting the PS4 faster than they did last gen and their markets could even be bigger overall than they were last gen (this remains to be seen). But it definately doesn't indicate any slowing down since the EU has so far been the strongest region for the PS4.
As for US+UK, the PS4 really only needs to sell exactly the same with teh XB1 in those regions cause last gen the 360 dominated those regions. If the PS4 manages to sell exactly the same with the XB1 there this gen while taking EU+ROW+Japan, then it would end up winning this gen by a landslide. So far, the PS4 has been outselling the XB1 in the ONLY two regions that it has a chance of beating the PS4.
Don't see what is hard to believe about any of this.
