uhm.. the PS3 is at 12m in "others" (10.41m only europe), while it's only at 10.09m in US (where it launched almost 4 month earlier), so that should tell you that PS3 is bigger in EU

no wonder there are always foreigners playing on PSN

Looking at the trophycard rankings:

http://www.ps3trophycard.com/

5 Americans

3 Europeans (2 French, 1 British)

2 Asians (Both from Kuwait, incidentally).

Maybe Americans are more hardcore?

@wholikeswood & kantor

no everyone on this site keeps saying how NA is the most important thing in the holidays, so I had taken it for granted that it was the best for PS3 too in the holidays, obviously thats not the case

I wonder if others is the best for wii too

NA is the largest region in the holidays. But, last year especially, the PS3 isn't as popular in NA as it is in Europe.

Wii is probably higher in NA than EU.

yes I see now

Europe has really been an asset

I haven't really encountered that. But then, I block all voice chat when starting a game. Nobody ever says anything worthwhile.

When playing Dark Crusade online on PC a while back, a lot of the players were French/French Canadian. But on PSN, all of the nonsensical noises and rambling about being drunk seem to be in English.

Same here, the number of incompetent people who find it funny to say weird things on the voice chat is getting a bit too much!

Could PS3 see 60k boost in Others this week thanks to 238 euro price in German?
I mean, it`s only 238 euro.

Germany alone will in no way cause such a big spike in sales.

ioi said "excpect metldowns." To me, that translates to 360 > PS3 for the week.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Don't know why anyone would have a meltdown if they are giving away a hundred bucks with the 360 and that increases sales.
