I m not that sure about this man

What?

I think something is wrong with ME and Africa numbers... we definitely didnt get the red wii bundle!! And probably never will... so the wii boost there is really unjustified. Again i really think the PS3 outsell the wii there by at least 2:1

Yes, in EMEAA Uncharted 2 is the best selling game that hasn't been released in the past two months (besides sports Champions).

LBP also going strong with LBP2 just around the corner.

Wow, not even Kinect can dethrone the PS3 in Europe. I think EMEAA 2nd place is settled for this generation. Quote me on that.

I gotta say, this isn't a surprise for me. here in Germany two of the biggest retailers, Saturn and Media Markt, had bundles for the PS3 with Move and bundles for the 360 with Kinect. The 360 bundle was a 250Gb 360S with Kinect. For 249 Euros. The PS3 bundle was a 320GB PS3 with Move and Eye-Cam. For 299 Euros. That's a difference of 50 bucks plus you get more space with the PS3. No wonder people got the PS3 bundles.

btw: It's quite a funny situation with Media Markt and Saturn. Some people prefer Media Markt or Saturn while hating the other one, when actually they're belonging to the same company, the Media-Saturn-Holding. It's the biggest electronics retailer in Europe btw.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Good Goldeneye sales? LOL, what standards do you people have? Goldeneye is one of the most memorable games for any N64 gamer and if 144.000 copies on the best selling home console this gen is good, then I guess I would have to disagree. Now, if Activision had put it on a console where people actually buy other games than Nintendo games, then it would be a whole 'nother story. Good 3rd party sales on the Wii = FLOP on PS360.

I am actually going as far as saying: People who think Goldeneye sales are good are disrespecting the EPIC game that was Goldeneye. HORRIBLE sales and Wii is clearly NOT WORTHY of this game... Obnoxious....

Both Wii and 360 should be over 400K this week worldwide...PS3 doing better than I expected so congrats to PS3 at again being #1 in Others! PS3 should still be #3 worldwide this week with Japan and America added. 


You know things aren't going to play out like you predicted. You thought Kinect would give 360 at least a moderate lead in EMEAA and Wii would have left the rest in the dust by now. Once GT5 comes out 360 is going to get left behind by a considerable margin in that region and I'm even feeling pretty confident about my EMEAA Q4 prediction.

Yes, I thought that Kinect would push 360>PS3 in Others for the week but no I never said that Wii would be leaving the rest in the dust by now as I predicted it to be at #3 last week and PS3 to be #1 still worldwide. As for this week I still expect both Wii and 360 to be ahead of PS3 worldwide...I also said this would be the starting week of PS3 being #3 for the rest of 2010 and I still hold true to that even if I am wrong about PS3 being in a distant #3 which I believe still could happen in the end. Actually all 3 consoles are selling better than I predicted at this time. 

Also, as for your Others prediction...I agree beating the 360 should be a given in Others now but Wii shouldn't be just pushed aside yet as Wii is known for getting the biggest boost as we get closer to the Holiday's.

Looks like Nintendo and Microsoft need plan B for Europe ;)

Apparently Nintendo also has a plan C:

Check my old posts if you don't believe I predicted it, but I always thought that a possible move by Nintendo, to both extend Wii's life and also counter possible competition from Kinect, without having to do another price cut too early, was bundling Balance Board and Wii Fit Plus. Although I expected Ninty to do it later, using  just Red Wii and DKCR (and obviously all the other lesser launches to help the big ones) to support sales this Xmas.
