Nintendo and MS are only really doing well in UK, France, and to some extent Germany, the largest European markets. I think that since they never really made any inroads there before, they're focusing on the larger markets first before moving on to the smaller ones. PS2 was widely successful all over Europe so the PS3 was easy to push in all the smaller markets as well. It's those same markets where the PSP is still selling toe-to-toe with the DS, too. It's the one area of the world where the success of the PS2 actually gives Sony a clear-cut advantage with the PSP/PS3.
