Somehow this turned into a debate about how many countries each console leads in sales. Doesn't it seem that Sony should be able to "Beat" M$ in the 20-30 countries that the 360 isn't even available? Wouldn't that also mean that if sony is selling in 20-30 countries that the 360 isn't in, they should outsell the 360 in total WW sales every day and every year outside the US?

No. US gap is so big... because that even Sony selling more in these countries WW seems more tied actually.

Based on your theory of more money in the US, the PS3 should be killing it in the US because its large price wouldn't deter sales. In the end, those who can afford an item that they want, will find a way to get it. Just like the rest of the world, the PS2 laid what should have been a tremendous path for the PS3 to dominate in the US. Ultimately, it has failed to take advantage of that. We can all debate the reasons why, but price has been an issue for the PS3 in the US and around the world. We have all seen that the PS3 has/had been picking up steam as the price has come down, but it hasn't taken off yet. It seems that M$ has had a few things up their sleeves at every turn to keep the PS3 at bay. We'll see if they can really do it again this year once Sony drops the PS3 another $100 in the US(and equal amounts in other markets). |
Based on my theory what matters is popularity in a country. Xbox 360 is cheaper, true, but if people think PS3 is better for them than that's what they will purchase, and due to word of mouth that tends be the majority.
And MS has a good hold in the US right now, it will remain that way. Sony has a good hold in Japan, if Japan was as huge as the US both in terms of population and expenditure then 360 would have been long gone in this "popularity" contest, just saying.
Same thing for other countries in Asia, South America etc.
One of the reasons why $199 is more important for the PS3 than 360 is because of these other regions where the PS3 sells more.
Remove Japan and US from the picture, along with all the nations PS3 sells that 360 doesn't, PS3 still remains more "popular".
My point still stands.

Many/most of those countries aren't very strong economically. Even if a console is available there only a very small portion of the population would be able to afford it and thus the numbers should be very small.

Touche.
But I own the trademark to "lol" and all it's incarnations so I'm just biding my time for proper legal actions.
Actually, I can't back that up. But LOL anyway.

| kingofwale said: shhhhhh, don't ruin this, how else would they explain that 1.2 million PS3 are MIA??? might be in some secret store in Iraq somewhere, |
There are secret warehouse caches of unsold, unshipped PS3s being made into cardboard box fortresses all over the world.
Doesn't everyone know this?!

US, UK and ??? I think just these two... maybe Australia but PS3 will bet 360 this quarter. The point is 360 win US by A LOT. |
You think PS3 will beat 360 this quarter in Australia? Or total? In Australia surely not, what from I have have seen.
