I was mainly thinking about Sweden, where the games seem to chart pretty decently at least. But I haven't seen a chart from there in quite a while, so maybe it's changed. Finland is pretty PS dominated I think. Iceland is too, but who cares about that since MS clearly don't?

who says that they don't care just because they can't deliver to all countriers at the same time? did sony not care about europe to release the ps3 only in usa, canada and japan first?

it took sony i think 4 or 5 months to release the console in more as i think 4 markets (canada, usa, japan and something else) because of some problems. 

if everything would be so easy companies would always release their products in every country on this planet at the same time.


your forgetting one big thing sony can do it but ms cant 

link to when Sony said Ps3 will launch world wide in 2006 to make this comparison even relevant please.

I now full expect Sony to focus more on the 13 countries with the ps4 now.

This is a good comparison because Xbone is having all the trouble that PS3 had at launch... PS4 not.

this will just solidify the strong grip Sony already has on these countries, i was never gonna get the Xbone anyway(i am from Denmark btw)

Did Sony ever say they were launching world wide holidays 2006? If not then it isn't a good comparison in my opinion.

Besides, people always complain that Sony ignores Europe all the time when Europe treats them better so the guy is still wrong in his assertion/trolling

but who cares, it's not microsoft so they are allowed to release in even less markets. and it's nothing bad, if you have some problems you have to delay, pretty normal in any industry.

Thanks, I didn't follow the news then all I knew was Sony was launching a new system. Anyway, people complain about how sony treats Europeans so the comment Azerth made was irrelevant anyways.
