which numbers are you looking at? PS3 ltd has passed 360 in all those territories on VGC.


This is clearly BS, there is no other explanation than he means all PS vs 360 [or at least PS2+3] because otherwise you are all claiming GFK is totally off as well.

NEVER PRESUME ANYTHING FROM A PR STATEMENT!

unless he actually said "PS3 outsold 360 by ......." you cannot presume he meant it.

Nope going by vgchartz numbers the ps3 is behind the 360 in france and in italy even tho david reeves says otherwise. He is clearly talking about the ps3 out selling the 360 by 3 to 1, because he was answering this question:

And how do you feel PS3 is doing in terms of ‘catching up’ with your rivals who launched earlier?

We don’t often mention competition but I will give you some interesting data. In terms of installed base in some of our major markets, such as France, Spain, Germany, Italy, plus some distributor territories in smaller markets like Switzerland, our current cumulative installed base is now higher than that of Xbox 360.

It has not quite yet reached that in the UK. But the team here expect to overtake installed base of Xbox 360 across PAL territories in late summer. I would say before, but that is when we think we will overtake Xbox 360.

It’s worth mentioning that last week we outsold Xbox 360 in PAL territories by a ratio of 3:1.
