EU becoming the larger market doesn't explain why every console (and I mean EVERY console) is doing better in the EU/Others market except for the Wii. I'm starting to think it's two different factors. The first factor being the HD consoles are hitting their price satuation point in NA, the 360 more so than the PS3, while the Wii has a very high perceived value (meaning it's cheap not because of it's price, but because it's perceived to have a high value for a low price). This is causing lower sales for the HD consoles in NA, but the Wii continues to have high sales. While in the EU/Others market, the 360 has just had a price drop, not to mention the GTA4, and Sony has strong brand loyalt, so their sales are just now taking off. While the Wii on ther other hand may not have the high perceived value that it does in NA, so it's sales are lower and a bit more normal. Probably stronger competition has a little bit to do with it as well. |
the European Union already has almost a population of 500 mill , whole Europe +700 mill, so that's quite some more people than in North America
