I think this thread is a fine example of what my poll asking about a european chart was trying to say.
If we look at European numbers for full weeks data for this year (10th Jan start date) we see PS3 sold 1.2m in Europe and 360 sold 900k. That is for 7 months of data off of the back of a PS3 price cut and new model and a actual 360 price increase. To be only 300k behind for the year considering those factors is pretty good going and shows that europe actually likes the 360 just as much as the PS3.
A huge contribution to the numbers actually comes from outside europe. If we use the same time frame of 10th Jan to today we see in EMEAA figures outside europe PS3 sold 568k and 360 only 290k. Meaning in this region PS3 has sold almost 2 to 1 over 360. These numbers make the numbers but more importantly the gap in EMEAA look better for PS3. But when you remove those countries from outside europe you see the weekly gap is actually not that big. Especially when as mentioned you take into account the recent price cut's and price increases. When we get the figures for the new 360s in EU that EU gap will be a lot less then it's current 300k gap for the whole year.
Which as i said is another example of why Europe now needs it's own chart. The middle east,asia,africa numbers make the gap look a lot bigger overall when really it isn't.
