I have a hard time believing those ps3 numbers in the uk. It's getting huge advertising here, loads on tv and on bulletin boards, bus stops etc.. And some of the deals going around are crazy. +9% really seems a bit low to me,,

ahhh, excellent, another ps3 "I can't believe it" post...

Knowledge is your friend:

Its 9% on top of +12% last week, on top of +36% the week before.....

thats a massive increase and more than the 360 and Wii...

so....?

ok kow, im making an observation which i may be wrong over. no need to get cocky... would you be happier if i said excellent/amazing 360 numbers?

This has nothing to do with the 360

Did you even read my post...?

The PS3 is up more than any other home console in the UK the last 3 weeks (65% in total - taking 3 weeks ago as a base)... I think that represents a good return on the massive Sony advertising and give-away bundles dont you? (360 up 36% , Wii up 64%)

ok.. thanks for the information. turned that one around quite well ;)

i wonder why people watch these sales every week if they don't believe them just to say "i don't believe the ps3 sales". ok, don't believe them guys but why do you watch them then? i don't understand this.

As for Japan I would say the PS3 will be at around 80-100k because of Christmas and FFXIII-2

I guess it will shell more.

PS3 jumped from 77k to 243k just because the special edition for FFXIII... I expected over 150k for FFXIII-2.

Japoneses loves theses special editions.

Hummmmmmm.

FFXIII put the FF's reputation in the mud... the frachise begins to die bacause a bad chapter .

Sad because FFXIII-2 is a better game than FFXIII.

Edit - fixed.

compared to what?

The US yes, Japan perhaps....... but nowehre else.

Why are the increases so little compared to the US though?Overall hardware increased over 30% this week in the US,and yet in the UK it has merely increased 10%.
