So, PS3 100000% won 2011. Congratulations to Sony.


No? It means X360 is doing VERY well in Europe. There are not 3m X360's on shelves.

Lol no, it's not doing very well in Europe, we get to see the software charts every week and apart from the UK the 360 is barely anywhere to be seen. When Microsoft were shouting "first to 10 million wins" they overshipped just so they could say they got to 10 million. For the entire year they've been shouting how they are going to win 2011.......of course it's impossible that they overshipped to achieve that........

Suddenly that over 760k number for PS3 becomes relevant.



That probably means faster price cut on X360. Gooooood.

Just, wow, shocking figures all round. Compared to NPD, everything's going to be massively overtracked. And how did MS get to 66 million shipped with such a low December in the States?

Europe? 


maybe they expected to sell alot more ww and shipped way to much

seems like the rumors about ps4 and xbox 720 did hurt the december sales

What are you talking about?  Right now I'm looking at VGChartz numbers for software in Europe on the front page.  Top 10 PS3:  MW3 and Fifa 12.  Top 10 360: MW3, Kinect Adventures, Fifa 12, Battlefield 3.  And there has been more 360 on there for EU than PS3 for a few weeks now.  Even total software for EU is 360 number 1, and PS3 number 2.  It would make sense for the 360 to be undertracked in hardware sales if it's that far behind yet still winning software sales.  I can't imagine the 360's attach rate is THAT much higher than the PS3 right now.



BOOM!  FACE KICK!

Or that the economy sucks worse than they thought and once people bought during the after Thanksgiving sales, they stopped buying as opposed to years in the past where they would keep buying.

There are no chance Xbox is above PS in Europe.

Microsoft just announced shipments like they always do.

No, retail analysts here in the US were saying that shoppers pretty much did all of their shopping in November on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  Though, based on reports for December, maybe that was only true for big ticket electronic items like consoles, pcs, and TVs at this point.
