Forums - Sales - German Hardware sales (GfK). PS3 top in October for first time.

@BKK: I think your title is wrong, I'm almost sure PS3 won in March also.

They are from GfK, you cannot get any more reliable than that. GfK is Germany's NPD, like Japan's Media Create, UK's Chart-Track etc.

well then thats good for ps3



hm.. so the 360 actually didn't really get a boost from Halo 3 , Bioshock , Fifa and PES in germany , because it only slightly managed to beat it's own lifetime average (august -> october average = 15.7k , lifetime average = 14.3k)



In October the PS3 is quite a bit ahead of the Wii and on VGC it only was one week ahead of the Wii. The LTD might be very close to the actuals, but the weekly figures are very different as the PS3 was ahead of the Wii for the whole October (4 weeks) and is also very close in November. (I get the german charts from my friend, but unfortunately not the figures, but he tells me how close the systems are.)



Well in October Sony launched 40 GB model in Europe at 400 euro and cut the price of 60GB model to 500 euro. I think this explain the bump of PS3 sales.

However , nice find BKK.

Yeah, sorry people. I messed up the August and September figures. Can't edit on my mobile but will fix when I get home.
