Out of curiosity Kowenicki, what are PS3 Vs 360 sales in the UK alone?

OT I like it the way it is. Three is a charm ^_^ and honestly, I think it would just be more fuel for the console wars on ze forums. Breaking down sales to more regions or categories is not going to help your future arguments which is why I ask that question, so it wasn't curiosity - more like "I see what you did there."

whatever

fact is UK is just as important as japan imo.  and europe is farrr more important.

That's the funniest freakin' thing I've read on Vgchartz in a while.

LOL at Kowenicki!

Seriously though, who discusses the UK  in this site or other site beside the numbers on monday. The best threads on here and gaf is about Japan. The only interesting thing about UK sales is how simular the buying trend is to the US. While we had this year alone:

Wii vs PS3

Monster Hunte 3 ( failure or success)

PS3  Slim ( 150k )

Dragon quest ( 4 million and up)

FFXIII

and more

It's just more to Japan to talk about.

 

arrogant and insular much...?

yeah lets just talk about the US and Japan, ban everyone from outside those regions and have down with it.. ffs.

So far the main reason for Japan seems to be that it has odd buying habits and makes loads of games for its own market... great. 

How many really succesful or innovative games have there been from Japan this gen for the HD machines? 

The HD machines arent successfuL in JAPAN.

" DEMON'S SOULS"

Japan is game and if you don't see that, my arrogance is just not strong enough.

"Bayonetta" ( which a lot of fans have been bragging about)

I am not a big fan of most Japanese games, I don't play RPG's, but I certainly understand how important Japan is to gaming. And it's the home of Nintendo, Capcom, SE, Sony, Sega.........It's the home of gaming.

well thats 2.... can I counter those with LBP and Fable2...? both from the UK and both far more innovative AND succesful.

I can counter THOSE 2 with Wii Sports and Wii Fit, both from Japan and both far more innovative and successful.

read back.

Whoops, my mistake.

Resident Evil 5

Street Fighter 4
