I think the Sony execs must be thinking about slitting their wrists.

 

Those wacky Japanese don't do mess around with wrists!  They do something called Seppuku or Harakiri, which is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment.  Very messy, and what must be one of the most painful types of suicide.

 

I've heard that you can live for hours, maybe a day or 2 with your guts hanging out

 

yeah. pretty grim, but sometimes they'll have a "second" standing by who'll finish the job off if the process of snuffing it is taking too long.

I wonder if the guy on standby will be from Nintendo or MS? lol

Anyway back on topic, I hope Winning Eleven does push hardware for PS3 over 50k this week, but I'm not 100% certain it will. The Japanese purses seem to be closing.

"Others" is bigger than Americas+Japan combined with each machine except the PSP

 

Thats because Japan numbers for consoles are so pathetic now.... hardly warrants its own place on the front page charts.  UK console sales are higher than japanese now arent they?

 

 Hmmm.  Interesting points.  Should the UK be separated from the rest of Europe as a region?  Should Europe, Australia and whatever else is considered "Others" be divided more ... accurately by region? 

Food for thought.

 

No... The regions aren't decided by sales numbers, but by release dates. The Uk shares release dates with the rest of Europe, Australia is pretty much always a week behind, so they get bundled in together

 Understood, and it makes it makes sense.  Guess we all need to be more cognizant of not referring to 'Others' as 'Europe'.
