Diomedes, tell me where we have any evidence that PS3 has sold 500k in France and I will change our data.

 

Don't feel I have to defend Diomedes but here are some links

The PS3 has overtaken the Xbox 360 in sales according to a recent survey conducted in France

No sources for the PS3

Here's a translation of the last link

Study conducted by telephone from 20 to 21 November 2007 among a national sample of 1,000

people representative of the entire population aged 15 and over,

also asked about other players the home. Targets are interviewed households players ,

ie individuals who say they or other members of their household are playing on console

on the market, portable and / or comp ateur, mobile phone / PDA.

 

¿Is a survey a reliable source?

 A translation of part of the second link:

...This is less than the Playstation 2, higher than 5.5 million units sold (about 500000 PS3). For its part, Microsoft claims to have sold a total of 500000 Xbox 360 since its release in late 2005. As for the installed base of first-generation Xbox, it is 750000 consoles, according to Microsoft France.

Well for the Xbox data the source is microsotf himself. The ps3 they dont say.

 

¿Is a survey a reliable source?

As reliable as projections from collected data from 2% retailers, or what ever is with Europe. Thats what VG Chartz makes.
