PS3 dominating 360 by 20k consoles a week after one of its biggest exclusives...

@Munkeh111: Actually I always heard MGS was pretty big in Europe, or am I mistaken?

 

Acccording to VGC, MGS is as popular in the 'States as it is in the EU.

300% increase in NA YOY, 200% increase in EU YOY

PS3 is the only console in history to have such increased sales even months after a price cut.

Darth - your statement about "the PS3 is the only console to have such increased sales after a price cut" is a rather wrong statement. The 360 has seen a 117% YOY increase due to a similar price drop. And what figures are you using to compare "YOY" for the PS3 in Europe? The PS3 was released well into 2008, and it seems like your basing this "200% YOY" off of this fact. Care to explain?

 

Percentages are also a little misleading, since it's not hard to have big percentage increases when your start point is very low. If you look at actual unit increases, it's not quite so dramatic. The Wii had much bigger gains in NA and Europe, but percentage wise it doesn't look so big because their sales were good to start with.
