| sharky974 said: Yep I agree. The price drop is catching on for 360 and it's probably even outselling PS3 in most of Europe now, as well as Japan even and the USA. The UK I used to be worried about PS3 catching up but it's clear now 360 is taking control of the UK for good. PS3 will win a few smaller EU countries such as France, Germany, and Spain but not much else. |
Apart from the UK, France Germany and Spain are the three largest European countries for videogame sales.
The UK is generally about 1/4 to 1/3 of the European Market, so while the 360 might manage a close race with PS3 here, the rest of Europe will more than make up for PS3 losing the UK.
PS3 is terrible in Japan, but 360 will be below it again for weekly sales soon enough.
I suppose in general it depends on what timescale you are talking about, but in terms of the whole generation, the 360 only really has a chance to beat the PS3 in the Americas (USA, Canada, Mexico mostly) and the UK.... I'm no fan of the PS3, but being realistic those are the only 4 countries of any significant gaming size that the X360 could outsell the PS3 this generation.
