Wii and PS3 are the only system that sell in Europe. Ok, the 360 may equal the PS3 in sales when it launches in mid July. Will it last now it will be like Japan. Slight increase of 10k than back down 10k in the following week. 360 Slim launch sales week in Europe 50k. PS3 Slim sales in the same week 50k. |
Think your find europe actually like PS3 and 360 exactly the same.
The majority of the gap in others actually comes from the middle east and parts of asia. Like for example this week if i remember right was 8k. If the gap is only 10k then that means 80% of it comes from there. In EU 360 is a lot stronger then it was last gen and PS3 is a lot weaker then it was last gen. If you look at the biggest games market in the EU which is United Kingdom is has outsold Wii and PS3 for many weeks now. It is selling at around 2 to 1 over PS3 currently. That is before the new model comes out. UK sales will have a similar effect to that of US. The UK sales will make up the gap from those non EU regions.
You can't really use Japan as an indication to the rest of the worlds interests. For example when PS3 cut it's price in Japan in it's first week it sold 152k! A month later and it was back to the 30k's. Meaning obviously boosts from price cut's don't last forever. But when they settle down into an average they are normally higher then before the cut.
