Core gamers are a very small minority of the general population. There are millions upon millions out there who would recognize the Wii immediately from its days as a pop culture phenomenon, but wouldn't know a PS3 if they tripped over one. And globally speaking the UK is insignificant.

Sure globally speaking UK is insignificant. And when you remove USA from the WW count PS3 would have outsold Wii. While PLAYSTATION in the the cover of the console would make it more recognizable as part of the family itself. There is a reason for people all over europe to call a gaming system a "playstation".

I agree.

PS3 comes from Playstation 3. It's a Playstation version 3. Like iPad Air or 4, they're all iPads.

One of the best things about Playstation in my opinion is that Playstation is the same thing ever. The true SNES successor, it didn't really change much, even the controller, which I love. You can trust Playstation, it's the standard home console, a SNES that evolved.

If we're talking about general worldwide population, the version of Playstation doesn't matter. Playstation is Playstation.
