POOR SALES in EMEAA.

I don't really think you can blame the impending 3DS launch for the consoles being so down YOY. If these numbers are true it'll soon be time to launch new hardware (2012-2013).

Are there one in EMEAA? Because the 360 not show it.

I guess Kinect Effect is just US.

Oh no! Bad Yakuza 4 opening again!

Oh God, what a huge surprise, a tandem of a company that doesn't know what to push and what not to and gamers that love their casual games. Did anybody expect anything else?

At least PS3 cleans house.

Wii is doing respectable considering it has basically no games right now. PS3 is doing ok, but lest we forget, it is available in more markets in EMAA, so it's almost automatically going to win every week here on out, thus is deserves to be judged more harshly IMO. The question will be by how much will it win EMAA each week.



I hate to say it but the 360 is completely fucked in everywhere besides the Americas and UK.

And without Kinect it would probably would have sold 30k or less this week.

Homefront did surprisingly good though.



Last week before 3DS, should be interesting

All as expected



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Was the x360 not something like half or quarter price in Spain during the PS3 import ban? Maybe that was just a rumour.

Kinnect has not generated any significant EMEAA x360 sales.

Maybe there is something about a powerful camera watching you in your own home that puts the Europeans off Kinnect.

UK residents are the most watched in the world so maybe that why it doesn't bother them.

No one is going to buy something they don't want regardless of where it's available.
