However, with as many units as the PS3 has in Europe, it'd be semi-hard for it to sell out at such an inflated pricetag. Now we get to see the VGCharts.org numbers for the PS3 start jumping up to a more competitive level. x360 launched with 70k units.. almost 200k ps3s were preordered in UK. ofcourse the Wii is a big thing in UK but no one wants a 360 over there. Being a SONY fan myself i do admit Wii would give ps3 very strong competition worldwide but definitely not x360. Both x360/wii sold 350k units in the whole of their launch week. ps3 beats them both in that case. PS3 launch isn't comparable to 360 or Wii lauch... If there have been more 360s or Wiis than what the demand was, THEN we could make a comparision. Even that you are telling us a fact, that it propably have sold more on the launch day, than Wii or 360. Oh, 360 is selling in UK almost as good as in US and CAN together, if we compare population per sold units. And Scandinavia (Swe, Fin, Nor) is right behind UK. I think the competition from gamers will be between Wii and 360, by any region. IN UK and EUROPE x360 is the least selling console. DS is dominating the chart followed by PSP (no2 console in UK) followed by PS2 and Wii. http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12194 In CANADA Wii and DS are the best selling consoles . in JAPAN x360 sells 3k per week the demand for ps3 in CANADA is phenomenal but are not available in large quantities.

So the only place that microsoft is strong is in america? ho ho ho
