those other markets that vg supposedly tracks are very VERY VERRRYY small markets. which is why they are irrelevant to even the big 3! the lead is 1 million in the UK, like microsoft have said. the rest of europe is even or ps3 ahead.

 

Wow mate... back up a little. You do know that "others" entails Europe, Asia, Africa, etc? Europe alone is bigger then Japan and, in your interest, PS3's best market at the moment. Some even decalre that Europe is the main battleground for consoles at the moment.

he's referring to the "others" inside of others, as in russia, other asian countries, Africa, south america etc.  Each of those countries alone doesn't acount for a lot but as a whole they do count for a pretty good amount.

How are they so small?  1.7 million 360s are sold outside of europe, NA, Australia, and Japan according to vgchartz.  For example at the beginning of 2008 it was reported that 360 had sold 200k in Korea, it's probably around 300k by now, that accounts for 300k of the 700k difference already.

 

they are small. in the biggest market in europe, UK, on normal weeks ps3 and 360 sell around lets say 15-20k yes? thats the biggest market in europe! so imagine those so called others?
