PS3 is down because the 360 is taking its sales in the UK..

 

the 360 is very cheap in the UK, like 150 while the ps3 is 300 in the UK, in fact in other european territories its as cheap as the ps2.. Until the ps3 could get a cheaper price, I don't think it can really do much in significant YTD sales in europe. It's selling well but being down YTD shows me it's beginning to reach its market saturation at that price point.

 

BTW this could be a week were PS3 outsells Wii world wide once again..

Majority of stores in the UK sent BACK their phats to Microsoft because they didn't want to sell them at a loss.

Also the GAME shops have practically got rid of all phat stock. The £149 model isn't available in the UK until tomorrow, it's launch.

So majority of UK sales for 360 are 250G Slims.

Which costs 190 pounds (amazon) in comparison to 245 for the 160gb PS3

right, £200 vs £250

360 Software is finally starting to go up, good sign

Slow week for everyone. It could be expected, it's maybe the slowest week in Europe, but bad weather made me expect a smaller drop, it wasn't a good week to go to the sea. XB360 holds quite nicely, but differently from the curve expected, it's down more % than last week.

It's also maybe the first week PS3 is down YoY, and despite this it got even closer to Wii.
