Forums - Sales Discussion - Worldwide Up!!! (Sept 19, 2009)

The PS3 will eventually pass up the xbox360 in Europe and others. They are only about 1 million units apart. It's just a matter of time. I think before, the PS3 was just too expensive but now that it's the same price as the xbox, people are more willing to buy it. Uncharted 2 will blow PS3 sales off the chart. When Forza comes out since racing games are big in Europe, Xbox was get a large boost as well.

 

I might also add that Uncharted is HUGE in Europe and Others.  Much much bigger in Europe than in the America.

It's going to level off around 200k and then will start to go up again during the Holydays.
Japan will drop to 20k, and NA and Others will both drop by 10k or so...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Gap in USA is closing again between ps3/360.

Modern warfare 2 is out soon and you know most Americans will reccomend a 360 to their undecided buddys (so they can play online together)

GT 5 not out till march, Forza 3's release date closing in, GTA double pack out soon (lost and damned, gay tony)

Slim was sony's last throw of the dice with the ps3.

I honestly don't see any way back now for sony this gen once the japanese and european sales of ps3 level off after the slim hype dies down.

 

I wouldn't go that far.  I really believe that the PS3 will eventually pass the 360 LTD, but mostly due to Europe and Japan.  But I believe Sony Playstation Brand  has lost its grip in America.



Good good. but for America's numbers, I shall wait for some official word.



PS3 = EXCELLENT

DS = EXCELLENT x 2

Xbox 360 = OK

Wii = GOOD

PSP = NOT GOOD

PS2 = The Undead

Grip on America has gones yes, it's doing good in Europe and Japan, i just think GT 5 moving to next year is a huge blow for them.

GTA double pack may only be a spin off but look at ODST's sales and thats only considered an expansion.

Forza 3 has a free run this holiday, Theres a Modern warfare 2 console bundle on the way for 360 and theres still plenty of room for new bundles/price cuts for the 360 in the future.

Thats how i come to my conclusion.

I may end up been wrong, but then again tonnes of people predicted that the ps3 would have passed 360 by 2009-2010 and that just simply aint happening.



Still going strong!  Hopefully it can hit 190,000-200,000 next week.  Will be tougher because Japan will prolly drop a decent amount--ToV helped keep it really high this week.

Please stop over-hyping the modern warfare 2 console bundle

its a multiplat game

I'll start hyping the Assassin's Creed 2 Ps3 250GB bundle in EU with threads in CAPS if this continues!

Noone can stop the power of the Wii. LOL I wouldn't be suprised if there is a hike in hardware sales next week. Casuals don't know any better and they don't read websites.




@kowenicki

AC 1 sold like 8 or 9 million though

Mw did 12 Million or something

not the same, but if apparently the MW2 bundle can move 360's, then the AC2 bundle should move PS3's.....the only problem is most people with AC1 were disappointed (I think)
