How many stores in the world sell PS3's???

There would need to be 155,000 stores WORLDWIDE to each hold 10 PS3's on their shelves..

I think its pretty reasonable

I agree that this is quite reasonable, but why does the 360 have a smaller difference

Supply Shortages!! <- j/k

Good point, could be cause stores in Japan only have one 360 in stock per store??

Sony doesn't exactly need many in Japan! You would assume that they would have roughly the same margin, as that is defined by the retailers, not by Sony

Why? Sony's consoles, not Microsoft's, are proven in Japan.  No way they'd have equal amount on shelves. 2 million in 1.5 years compared to 600k in 2.5 years.

Perhaps Japanese dwelling VGC members could supply anecdotal evidence.
