Anyone can answer the question?

@Just_Ben:

The 360 version sold 2:1 in UK To all other versions combined. Link

Here are the charts for that week. The charts also include a PC version! so the 360 version outsold the PS3 version>2:1 in UK.

I don't have a hard proof that CoD4 Xbox 360 version outsold PS3 version by 2:1 (that's why I used word "around" in my first post). But neither do you that it didn't. Xbox version sold 63% and I assumed that that lion's share of ther rest 37% was PS3 sales becouse PS3 version was on 2nd place and PC version was only on 8th. Xbox advantage may be higher than 2:1 but there is very little chance it was 3:1. And with all others European countries where Xbox is weaker it's not odd to ask where 3:1 ratio comes from.

The PS2 version>The 360 version>The PS3 version.

That's a great information. Again you have told me something I didn't know.

@mrstickball: Of course UK is the biggest of European market but it's not the only one. Europe has around 700 millions of people only about 60 mln of them live in UK (it's 9%). Acording to vgchartz this week in UK 192k of consoles were sold while in all "Other" region 719k were sold, so it gives UK 27% of market share. My opinion for UK actually is a little less optimistic and I would say that it is around 20% of European market as I am convinced that other regions are highly underestimated (it's not any accusation at this site as it would be extremly hard to track 50 European countries correctly). You of course can disagree with me but anyway you should agree that all other European countries shold easily outsell UK.
I don't know what PS3 titles are selling 1/3 of what Xbox 360 version are but it's very little chance that this is the case in Fifa, PES or CoD4. Fifa on Xbox 360 sold in it's first week only 30% more than on PS3 (share was: 44% PS2, 26% Xbox 360, 20% PS3). For PES first week: 42% PS2, 30% Xbox 360, 28% PS3 + PC, hovewer PS3 version was charted on 3rd position and PC version didn't even get to top 40 individual UK Chart. So it's obvious that PS3 share was "close" to 28%, where "close" means no more than few per cents away.
