PS3 version of MW3 only marginally ahead of X360 in EMEAA despite outselling it in every country besides UK? Very hard to believe. Even with Black Ops the difference was bigger and after that the HW gap between PS3 and X360 in EMEAA has just grown.

Agree.  I also have to say, not really buying the 360 Skyrim outsold the PS3 Skyrim by ~100K, either.  Just look at Oblivion for my reasoning.  Oblivion launched in EMEAA a little over a year late on the PS3.  At that time the 360 outnumbered the PS3 by ~2.3 million in those regions.  Yet, Oblivion on the 360 only outsold the PS3 version by 190K.  So here we are, when the PS3 outnumbers the 360 by ~4.4 million units, and the games are launching on the exact same day, yet the 360 version somehow outsells the PS3
version.  Just not seeing how that's possible.

Actually Skyrim numbers are understandable. In UK it sold massively more on X360 (something like 55% compared to 25% and PC taking the rest). In Finland (I know small country but PS3 software really dominates here usually when it comes multiplatform games) it sold only marginally better on PS3 compared to X360 (on PS3 10.7k and on X360 10.3k). I would say that the situation is probably pretty similar in other European countries. PS3 version selling more but not that much. Fallout games also sold better on X360 despite the userbase advantage of PS3. Those MW3 numbers in  the other hand are very hard to believe for the reasons I already stated in my original post.



Around the Network

I doubt 360 version sold anywhere near 1m in rest of others apart from 1.1m in UK. Again overtracked by quite a bit.



i've just noticed PS3 didn't get a boost in hardware sells in any region. i'm calling BS. UC3 3.8m? interesting. 4.5m before yrs end?

adjustments should be interesting.



Here PS3 wins as usual, but not with the insane numbers XB360 wins in America. CoD itself is huge here, but not as much as there. Very good Skyrim too. XB360enjoys a huge % boost, PS3 boost looks somehow little, considering the situation of PS3 bundles and special offers in EMEAA is often better than XB360, and even when it's worse it's not overwhelmed by XB360 as it happens in America.
