One should take a quick note:

Xbox 360 sales are up over 50,000 units this week in Europe.

Last year ~161,000 Units
This year ~ 217,000 units.

Not too bad, eh?

And it isnt selling anything more than last year ,in fact Wii and PS3 are stealing all the sales while last year they had Gears of War ,Wii stock problems and the PS3 was absent .So this only lend to one conclusion ,vgchartz is doing it again and overestimating the 360 by a ton .Just as in NA .

 We are already 2 million up for the 360 compared to NPD and the european data must be also off by a great margin as the 360 isnt doing better than last christmas but more the other way around .So next shipped data for MS will be funny as we will be a million or so over their shipped numbers .



Around the Network

we ae not so much under ms publicity machine influence as US gamers are.
We have high prices for both and they are particularly similar.
So we choose the quality and functionality.
We believe that Sony wont drop the console after 4-5 years as ms did with Xbox one
And finally x360 sales are pretty high in Eastern Europe cuz of 1 obvious reason - the most of 360 sold are modified and can play $5-7 disks that pirates sell everywhere.



Sony can take down their prices next year by $50.

Just unbundle Motorstorm for the 80GB and thanks to lower then $400 blu-ray players, they can afford $50 less on the 40GB.



Him... everyone acts like they are the smartest expert on the feild of Video Games, Consoles, and the Human Brain! People should just start saying alot more of "In my opinion" or "This is how I see it" instead of them trying to act like they know facts.

I'm guilty sometimes myself but I more or less try to imply it. We are not experts and we can only guess, even just like Analyst who get paid and probally couldn't do anything better than any of us. I mean who thought the Wii 2-3 years ago evel when it was the Nintendo Revolution would have even thought it would ever do this good? It pretty much blindsided everyone.

Who knows how it will be next week or one year from now exactly? Maybe the Wii will just stop selling one week all of a sudden, Maybe the 360 will sell like crazy in Japan, and Maybe the PS3 will sell better than the 360 in the US? There could always be another company who may try to jump in the next year or two and make their own console? The thing is don't know but I sure as hell would prefer not knowing and guessing than knowing and not having any sales result each week to look at. :P



Me: Even if you think you like me... You Don't! It's just that simple. I can be the bigger man and accept Xbox 360 may have some good games but screw their Hardware to HELL!!! F*** the RROD!!! Me: I'm not a fan boy :D. I just choose to hate everything Micro$oft and I love being immature! Can't wait to talk to you! Aesop: It is easy to be brave from a safe distance. Aesop: We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. Me: STFU... I'm eating tacos....... I reverse...... yea! Predictions for 2008 Coming Soon!!!


"We don't buy it because it's not from Europe. We don't buy it because it breaks all the time. We don't buy it because we hate Microsoft. We don't buy it because we hate America. We buy PS3s (Japanese) because they don't break. I don't buy MS products because I hate MS and I hate Windows, but I use it, but I pirate."

I suppose (almost) none of those statements are contradictory, but I don't think you really make a good case for any one of them, and none of them really connect to each other." -final fan.

 

What I meant to say with that we don't buy it because its not from here, is that x360 only sells in the US, because its an american product.. And yes, we hate America. Dont blame us for saying what we believe and standing up to your fucked up system and even more fucked up president and values. America needs people that say what they believe and protest, if Bush would've been president for France he would've resigned years ago because of all the riots his decisions would have caused. But Americans just sit quiet and let him fuck up the world.. I'm not french btw, I'm Swedish, and Swedes is just as bad as Americans not to speak up, but atleast we vote for a decent leader..

Speak for yourself:  you hate America, you think that their values are fucked up...i don't and I'm European just like you.

Ah, i still have enough brain to separate Microsoft from US foreign policy...do you?

I'm American and I don't hate Sweden or any part of Europe.  But I do hate you.  That's me standing up and protesting you and your fucked up opinions.



I will say the brand name I got a friend that always plays shoting games and he bought a ps3 and the only exclusiv game he has is ressistence don't get me wrong ressistence is a great game but all off you knows that xbox 360 is owning that ganra by far.



Think twice before helping a friend in need.

OMG arrogance and Swedish. Nothing new. I am German and we may have our faults but at least we don't think we are the only civilized country in the world like the Swedish.

Which is pretty ironic since you have all the social problems that also exist outside of your social heaven. Alcoholism, racism, astronomic suicide rates etc. pp. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that you live in a goddamn nanny state that tells you how to live and what to do. (But Stockholm is nice )
