MW3 exclusive advertising, $100 gift card promotions, console bundles and limited edition a plus holiday season, these numbers should have been expected. Great numbers regardless though, especially for a console in its 6th year.

WOW

Awesome 360 numbers....mw3 gave it a huge boost, plus holiday. I wonder how the ps3 will fare next week. PS3 needs to increase its Americas sales, although i dont see how they can do that.

I think its safe to say now that wii will not see the growth it usually sees during the holiday.

pezus said: I find it hard to believe that the PS3 and 360 version are that close in EMEAA, the 360 version outsold the PS3 version in the UK by only about 250k so VGC is saying the PS3 version outsold the 360 version in the rest of the countries by only 250k total? Considering Germany probably at least accounts for a 200k gap, it's just hard to believe. Still - it's all just speculation from me so I won't say the magic word

TEH UNDERTRAKZ!!  ;-P

Lol, j/k.  Going by past years, the holidays are a crazy time for sales estimates.  Usually have to wait for NPD and financial reports to gauge the true results of the holiday.  Though VGC should be relatively close, I think.

Now that i checked the region numbers i see 360 had a massive increase in EMEAA, while ps3 had a very minor increase...

well it dropped last week

and 40~50k gap not really close,and should be 100k+ again later

In EMEAA...

360 up 62%
PS3 up 9%

Just no... waiting adjustments.

now know why M$ never cut X360 price follow by PS3? thanks to the crazy X360 MW fans... xD

There was .

go check xbox.com UK/France/Germany/whatever Europe

This. I think the 360 version will get adjusted down at least 100k in emeaa and the PS3 version adjusted up 100k in emeaa. The difference should be at least around 300k in emeaa but I'm just speculation. I'm assuming combined WW sales are correct since activision released actual info on how much it sold first week. Also I think ps3 will get adjusted up in EMEAA or 360 will be adjusted down since MW3 didn't have a limited edition console in Europe.

Anyway incredible Skyrim numbers. Once the game releases in Japan next week, skyrim's first week sales will be 1mil+ on the PS3, 2mil+ on the 360 and again speculation but I think with Digital sales 1mil+ on the PC considering the ridiculous number of players online simontaniously during the initial launch at steam. I guess that bethesda announcement didn't include digital sales or at least vgchartz doesn't think it did.

I actually think this game will sell very well in Japan. Oblivion sold 140k on the ps3 version and this time the ps3 has a much bigger install base and isn't get a year late port. I think 350k+ lifetime is possible for skyrim(ps3). Sadly I don't think the 360 version will be able to match 360 oblivion numbers but maybe it can reach 100k.
