Bullshit. He actually means

'We need to beat X360'

Which doesn't translate into weak at all.

“History has shown us that once you get to £199 you hit lift off. We can do some serious business and this kick-starts that. Getting to £199 was a defining moment for the PSone and PS2 – this will be no different.“

Except the PS1 and PS2 were dominant consoles, the PS3 isn't, and won't beat the 360 this holiday.

I don't want to enter an argument about whether it's their weakest market or not (I didn't participate in the dabate in the other thread). But weak is just context-based.

It's their strongest market when compared to other european markets. It's their weakest when compared to their competition in a particular market.

That's about it. No need to take it too seriously.

I get the context, it's still stupid though. There is a threshold and just because the competitors are at a certain level, doesn't mean they even have the opportunity to get to that level.

They probably don't. But that doesn't mean they are not weak(er) against the competition in the UK.

Europe - shipped 22 mill
US - 17.3m sold so around 18 mill shipped
Other Americas - 10 - 15% of US so 1.8M - 2.7M shipped
Japan - about 7.1 mill shipped

= 48.9 - 49.8

So around 2 mill in others?

Apparently in Gamescom they mentioned 22m in SCEE territories, but SCEE covers more than just Europe. I'm not too sure what areas though.

Must be, because in March this year in Europe (strictly Europe) Sony had 14.7 mill PS3's, and MS had 13.7 mill 360's, PS3 1 mill ahead.

'has offices around Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand promoting these computer entertainment systems and its software to a total of 94 territories.' that's all I could find.

To improve sales in UK and US this generation ... no hidden words in my comments this time.

Well UK sales will be fun to watch, as they've always come so close to 1 mill in each year but never surpassed it (last time I checked) I wonder if they can finally make it this year at £199
