Forums - Sales Discussion - Global HW (UK & USA UP) - 12th May

So sad Starhawk opened so poorly, hopefully it'll have some legs and crawl to a million, but its very doubtful :/



Around the Network

I give the 360 3-6 weeks before it drops below 100k. Anyone know what's the lowest it dropped to last year?

3DS sells more in 1 week in Japan then entire gaming industry in UK


Holy hell I remember people claiming UK was gonna surpass Japan as the 2nd biggest market?!


thats was in reference to home consoles...  obviously not possible with handhelds.

total home console sales (wii+PS3+360)

guess what... it nearly has passed Japan... when you consider the population is half of Japan's... thats incredible.

Japan 22.16m

UK 21.33m

over to you to downplay or come up with some utter gibberish.

what an utterly useless statistic

In other news, taiwan is neck and neck with Japan with video game systems that begin with S.


no it really isnt.. what you said is just ridiculous... frankly embarrassing.

What I showed was a current gen home console sale comparison... why is that useless?  if it is then this whole site is utterly useless.

Sorry, it just seems trivial.

Only 7th gen home consoles? I mean, it's not really the whole picture is it?

Forgive my ignorance, but what can we derive from this? That the home console industry is very strong in the UK? Or is it that Japan's home console sales are falling?

Do we even have shipment numbers for the UK specifically?

I mean, the numbers for the USA and the UK are exactly the same across all platforms, and even in population distribution. It's like vgc takes the UK population's ratio right out of the US sales.



Hardware sales are really low across the board and 3DS is dropping. Might go below PS3 any week now.



Vita down another 11-12% this week? Below 50k??

Oh my...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Around the Network

Wii above 60k, PSV below 50k.

50k decrease for 3DS, just 3k above PS3.

Lol things are interesting.



DOOM all around!

Mario, the hero of time, we need you!



It will take a miracle to get the Vita out of this slump. Hopefully Sony can make it happen soon.



Sony need to stop dat Console gaming on handheld if they want to save the Vita and make a quick pokemon rip off and side scroller game and make sure the hot new games on app are available on the Vita via PSN



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I don't understand the doom and gloom in the U.K market, so i'll just post this here.

"USA corrected Population" figures are what the figures should be taking into account the populations of each country.
