Yes, the Wii is competing with the 360 and PS3, and it's easy to prove it

3- Games like MGS4, KZ2, LBP, GT5, FFXIII, FFXIIIv, R2 and etc. are not yet released.

Sorry, but you just making conclusions too early.
You just don`t think, that games above will have any BIG effect on sales of PS3.

Moreover, PS3 is ON track with PS2:

For what reason you comapre sales in each region, when TOTAL sales matters. =)

I already said why per-territory is the correct way to go when comparing aligned launches. When a console is only being sold in one territory, customers from other territories aren't going to travel just to buy a console (with very very few exceptions).

Therefore, the market doesn't become magically global just by launching in one territory.

 

BUT developers starting creating games way BEFORE console got launched in every region. And GAMES all is matter. Because games make effect on hw sales.

I mean, if PS2 was launched in march 2000, and MGS2 came in November 2001 after 21 weeks since launch, IT DOESN`T matter, if PS2 was launched in USA only in October 200, because game was in developement since PS2 launch or even earlier.

Same for PS3, if it was launched in November 2006, and MGS4 came in June 2008 after 19 weeks since launch of PS3, it doesn`t matter that PS3 was launched in Europe only in march 2007.
