its no surprise since the PS4s were sold out in the major stores here in Saudi Arabia too!!

Can you tell how the 360 doing in your country compared to ps3?

As USA is on the one side not really "liked" in your country but on the other side there are close ties to the usa+ the usa army inside +a pretty wealthy population i'd really like to know wether people care about the origin of the console.

The 360 did alright actually. Nothing close to the PS3 though. I wouldn't be surprised if the ratio was higher than 5:1 for the PS3. It has nothing to do with the US though. A ton of American products are popular here.

With the overwhelming demand for PS4 units it bugs me that Sony might fall to the temptation of increasing production speed at the cost of quality. I hope they do not give in to such dark temptations.

Do you think Sony will ship enough unit to retailers before the launch in Asia?

You can never ship enough on a launch lol.

Do you mean to retailers in asia or current markets?

current market

thx-not really surprised but i thought that nintendo is performing stronger.

Wii performed much much better than n64 and gamecube, but the past few years they just slowly went back to been irrelevant here. honestly, i havent seen a WiiU in any store here, not that i went looking, i could find one if i wanted, but i mean in a lot of stores that have video game consoles i havent seen anything relating for the WiiU. i should note that jordan is a pretty small market.
