I have seen alot of post in different threads when people talking about which country is the most important to win in.

So i get this number from a Swedish game magazine. Now the sales number is from last year but if you look at the ps2

success i should say that all regions is pretty important ifthe companywants to win this consol war

Playstation 2
Japan (inkl. Asien): 23,99 million
Northamerica: 44,86 million
Europa (inkl. Australien): 42,4 million

Totalt: 111,250,000

Expected sales in the end of 2006 : 114,69 million

It depends on your game taste (I never really though I'd be able to relate that to sales). If you like Western games, then pick a console that is more Western-orientated. If you like Japanese games, like me, then you pick a console that's winning in Japan.

The PS2 won in both worlds, that's why it had both :)

Honestly, EU and NA are the biggest buyers, due to population. However, I have a feeling that Japan will be the tie-breaker this gen, due to their (quite tasteful, but sometimes... awkward IMO) selective gaming habits.

Seeing as ps2 in the usa sold about the same as Xbox+Gamecube combined everywhere, its the us as if you win there your console still is sucesful even if it flops everywhere else.

Also Europe is NOT a Country!

You need them all to dominate the playstation proved that two times already and that's why they won. The 360 needs japan and europe not just the usa. If the 360 was selling in japan the ps3 would only have 1st party exclusives I think but ms will end up in 3rd place after having a years head start going by the way sony owned at the e3.

There really is no way to compare counrties for this kind of threads because the systems are devided in regions. The regions will be the true way of measuring the way things are going.

yes we know, but the region is seen as one when it comes to this industry.
