On top of this we are now seeing an upward turn of sales. Burnout Paradise was released last week (Friday 25th to be precise) and it sold some 12k more on the PS3 than the 360. To top this off, the 360 has only 2 titles in the top 20 sales of the week with Burnout Paradise and COD4, whereas the PS3 has a decent 4 titles including Burnout, COD4, Assassins Creed and Uncharted. Also sales of COD4 are selling more on the PS3 than the 360 and Assassins Creed as has been since it's release has sold more on the PS3 than the 360. Overall the PS3 sold 20k more consoles than the 360 and sold a whopping 55k more games than the 360. All in all, it looks like the PS3 is getting a steady stream on console and game sales whereas the 360 is decreasing all the time. What will happen over the next few months? Well DMC4 will be released shortly, but apart from this, there won't be any big hitters until GTA4 appears on 28th April, and going on recent track record, it could very well sell more on the PS3 than the 360. |
The Price cut and holiday season gave the PS3 a really nice boost in "The Other" region, even though it was already selling adequately there in the first place. Without any further price reductions, the PS3 will average between 55,000 and 75,000 units per week in "The Other" region(with occasional boosts beyond that level for big game releases).
At the same time, the XBox 360 will (likely) get the equilivalent of a $100 price reduction in "The Other" region and will also see a boost in sales.
