I still can't understand how the PS3 versions of Assassins Creed, COD4, PES08 can sell better on the PS3 then on the 360 if the userbase is half the size. Something doesn't compute.

Simple, those are the only good games on the PS3 where as the 360 is littered with numerous triple A games.


Yes, that's why all those AAA games didn't chart higher then COD4, Assassins Creed, PES08 etc... Keep going cheif, you're on a roll.

Georges Fornay, le PDG de SCE France et Senior Vice-Président de SCE Europe a même déclaré :

« Le marché français a répondu avec enthousiaste à l'introduction de la nouvelle PS3 40 Giga au prix de 400 euros. Associée à la baisse de prix de la version 60 Giga, elle nous a permis de vendre 100 000 consoles depuis le 12 octobre. Nos usines tournent à plein régime pour répondre à cette demande et éviter toute rupture de stock. Notre objectif initial de 500 000 unités vendues au consommateur final d'ici le 31 décembre sera largement dépassé et laisse présager d'une saison record »

« L'apparition de nouveaux concepts de jeu totalement inédit, la possibilité de jouer à plus de 60 jeux conçus pour la PLAYSTATION 3 ainsi que le fait de pouvoir utiliser sa console pour visionner des films en haute définition expliquent cet engouement ».

Georges Fornay, boss of SCE France :

"largely more than 500k sold to consumer at the end of 2007"

Don't forget that the numbers for others also include areas outside of Europe, the gap between 360 and PS3 in Europe alone is around 500k smaller. It is something like 3.6M to 2.2M, so the userbase is only around a 3:2 ratio. Then exclude the UK from the numbers (where the charts do show 360 versions easily outselling their PS3 counterparts) and the totals end up at 2M to 1.65M, so in mainland Europe the userbase is actually very close. It only makes perfect sense for the PS3 to outsell 360 versions in some countries.

lombard2578,

dont u remember an french article where Sony saied they will have a 500k user base of PS3 in France at the end of 2007 and that it will be more than the Xbox360 ?

 I remember. I think, it will be difficult, if the number of 270,000 is true.

As I'm observing PAL charts for some weeks I can say it's not true. PES, CoD4 and AC when launched were best selling games for both PS3 and X360 - and what's important no other "numerous triple A games" could even get close to them. However Halo could hurted Fifa sales but it was around a month before PES release.
