Does the same apply for NZ and South Africa? If so, does anyone have any good clue why this might be? And to no surprise I suppose, central, eastern and southern Europe (mainly) seems to be in clear favor for the PS-brand. And one could of course also ask the same question here, how come the non-English speaking western countries seems to be in favor for the PS-brand? Almost as if Xbox didn't even exist. To me it seems to be divided by culture and language, somehow. But why, I don't understand. Before the X360 I would assume that the millions of people in the English speaking countries were in favour for the PS1 and PS2, but then switched/changed. And in the major parts of Europe they didn't, they continued with PS3. Am I on to something here or is it just a bizzare coincident?
If we compare Sweden (~10 million people) to Norway, Denmark and Finland (~5 million), the three later markets are all stronger than the Swedish in terms of sales/population. Norway the very strongest. I had never thought this beforehand. Just by adding up the numbers, Norway could have sold ~2 million PS3 in 2013 with twice as big of a population as Sweden. Denmark and Finland would also be near to ~2million PS3 as well. Also the near 50:50 ratio of PS3:X360 in Sweden looks very odd compared to the other three countries.

Where did you get the 2 million PS3s from? That report was only software sales.
