Looking at some of the current trends leaves me quite intrigued. Xbox 360 is selling amazingly thanks to the slim redesign. Wii seems to have veritably bottomed out. And PS3 is selling at a seemingly steady and consistent pace. Who could have possibly foreseen this a year ago? Looking at the line-up for all three systems in the coming months it’s clear that they’re all poised to have a pretty good quarter 4. But who do you think will come out on top among home consoles in EMEAA in the final 3 months of the year? I think it will be PS3. Let’s take a look at what each of the big three has to offer.

Tips

- As of the beginning of October Wii is down YOY in EMEAA by approximately 200k.

- As you can see above the PS3 160 GB model doesn't come to Europe until October.

- Every PS3 320 GB model is bundled with the Move starter pack.

- Nintendo's Fiscal year projection for the Wii is 17.5 million. Sony's PS3 projection is 15 million. Sony recently said that they're on track to reach that target and could potentially even beat it.

I think "Donkey Kong Returns" and "Michael Jackson The Experience" could be important exclusive software (Q4 for MJ) for Wii too. Nice post.



postofficebuddy on 17 September 2010

Oh yeah I forgot about MJ, I'll add it. DKC doesn't have a confirmed release date yet for PAL. I'll add it when it gets one.

 Slim 250 GB/Kinect bundle (11/10/10)  £300  (I don’t think this is coming to mainland EU)

Having it on pre-order through Amazon for £279 obviously the UK is not mainland but it is certainly coming to Europe.

Winner of the 2010 VGC Holiday sales prediction thread with an Average 1.6% accuracy rating. I am indeed awesome.

Kinect as seen by PS3 owners ...if you can pick at it   ...post it ... Did I mention the 360 was black and Shinny? Keeping Sigs obscure since 2007, Passed by the Sig police 5July10.

I cannot edit my post above but what I wanted to clarify is that as the bundle is available on Amazon.co.uk it is also available to mainlain Europe if they choose to to use the .co.uk as opposed to the .fr or .de version of Amazon.eu

Thank you and goodnight.

faltered that my titles have become a franchise now

i think it'll be PS3 aswell

very sure they have a gt5 bundle there i think even amazon EU shows one

would be huge if it can lock down both JP and EMEAA for those 3 months JP is already in the wraps
