Then you point out that Halo 3 DID move 360s, but for some reason discount MGS4's ability to move consoles. And MGS4 DID move consoles in Europe. Sales rose almost 30% over previous weeks. And that's in the territory in which the ps3 was already selling the strongest. You could say that GT5P had already caused a lift in the EU, and that carried over a bit until MGS4. GT5P, unlike MGS4, did much more for sales in the EU than it did in the other territories. |
I knew someone would mention GTA IV on the 360. People do nitpick I suppose.
I tried to distance myself in this thing as far as possible from E/O because clearly E/O trends for the PS3 are very very different than its trends in America and Japan. I shouldn't have mentioned in the article at all and that's my fault.
So we all know that PS3 is fine in E/O so keep it to America and Japan. That's where my discussion really is focused in.
