where is your documentation on PS3?

On Europe versus USA see link from CIA. Note that USD have dropped a lot since 2006.

Show me where that gives us the number of HDTVs, because I must have missed it. The truth of the matter is, if either format fails to make it in the US, it (or they) will be considered a failure, or a niche product at best.
As for the PS3 numbers, check this link-1/2 way down the page, is a chart giving weekly and total (annual?) numbers it says 2,324,092.
enjoy,
Jack

  I wrote about worldwide sales in SONYs financial year (ends spring 2008)
  Current numbers in your own link are:
  
  Japan PS3 1,349,072 units until now
  USA PS3 2.324.092 units until now
  Europe/other PS3 2,078.340 units until now. Here sales started spring 2007 due to lack of units.
  Total 5,751,504 units until now.
  
  Current weekly sales are 199,430 units worldwide. That is 10 million per year, and we have to add the Christmas sales boost.
  
  So SONYs target of 8 to 11 million units looks OK.
  
  USA does not matter that much anymore. USA has less than 20% of the world economy, and that share keeps on dropping. You are living in the past.
  
  HDTVs are expensive, so sales are related to GDP.
  In Denmark I can only find HDTVs in shops, except of a few 14".
  Your 10% for Europe and 60% for USA are very old numbers.
