Forums - Sales Discussion - Has Europe sales saved PS3 this Christmas from an embarrasment?

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=Total+Other&cons2=PS3&reg2=Total+Other&cons3=X360&reg3=Total+Other&weeks=156

I think the graph needs to be updated to match current data.

 

When you consider the Japan sales are struggling, the US sales are bad, is Europe saving the PS3 this Christmas?

I think the point of this was to say; "Sony has Japan, MS has the US, so is Europe the deciding factor?"

"Why do they call it the xbox 360? Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away" 

Has a major point.

360 already has a foothold userbase to sell their games on, looking at the sale charts proves that, and that was before this Christmas. Therefore this years US X-mas sales has saved te 360 from no embarrassment.

But lets just say that the 360 outsold the PS3 in Europe by 30-40k a week, then what? The situation would be a complete disaster for Sony.

I mean, the 360 has the superior game lineup, better versions of multi plat games, cheaper console etc... It has everything required to sell more then the PS3 in EU yet it hasn't had the penetration required. That is the PS3's saving grace, EU came through, when the opposition had the better situation.

Sony doesn't have Japan. Sony's sales in Japan for its first year were bad.  Very bad.



@jhlennon

I guess so..your right there

i think if you have a look at the sales numbers, the 360 is really only dominating in 2 countries, that's the USA and the UK, the rest of the world looks like they are starting to favour Sony over MS.

from this i tend to agree with DarthDividem, i believe he has a more valid point.

The fact that the UK and the USA are the two largest national markets is 'holding back the Sony tide' for MS.

Europe should be treated a bit better and have games released there sooner. They have always shown such great support to SONY and what do they get in return? Games that are released months after Japan and the US....MONTHS!

I feel bad for them and seriously...you guys over there in Europe rock the PS3. 360 has been out two years and the PS3 one, and it's only roughly a million units apart.



End of Year predictions:

Wii | 17.5 million ----> 19.20 million as of new year

X360 | 16 million ----> 16.02 million as of new year

PS3 | 8.7 million -----> 8.86 million as of new year

DAMNN I really underestimated the freaking Wii - Sheaaat! 

 

Lifetime Sales

Wii | 60-80 million

X360 | 50-60 million

PS3 | 100+ million (I believe the PS3 will still be around when other NEW consoles arrive...there won't be a PS4 for quite some time.)
