Wow! Looks like Europe made the PS3 surpass the 3DS.

Resident Evil started very weak in Europe, and average in NA. Looks like Japan is the savior.


We don't have full European software yet.

Good legs for LBP Vita as well. Don't know how it went from 8k to 15k in Europe


Yayy.  Just noticed that too.

Even if it doesn't sell gangbusters, I suspect it's going to be a really consistent holiday seller.

Wow I guess here's where the PS3 really starts to dominate (Way over 50% of market share). The super slim is starting to do some pretty impressive numbers. I thought the PS3 would increase the yearly gap over the 360 this month by around 160-200k but it appears it may be closer to 400k.


12gig cheap super slim launches tomorrow in Europe. That should keep the momentum going in Europe until the holidays where it will really shine. :D

Oh and that new Playstation Store update might boost as well. Could encourage people to download more content leading many phat PS3 owners to upgrade to the newer models.

Good boost for the PS3, was to be expected with new model + FIFA + RE. Nice hold for the 3DS also without any new games this week.

I guess LBPV sales are disappointing? Week 1 and 2 sales are below week 7 sales of Mario in the US.


Sales are actually pretty good considering this is pretty much a port. I have no idea why Sony isn't bundling this game though. Looks like they're only doing bundles for 3rd party titles on Vita.

I thought that PS3 could have been better on USA sales.

PS3 over 360 by 100k?

We're at 1.7 gap.
Is this the lowest the gap has ever been?
Next week could be 60k over, which, with the math, should bring it to 1.6 or so.


The gap could actually be higher or even lower...VgChartz data just isn't accurate enough to stress over a couple hundred thousand.

PS3 told the 3DS, "Fuck out the way, bitch!"

Impressive numbers on the PS3 and weak sales for RE6. Oh well.

3DS said, "As long as you know who your daddy will be come the holidays you can go ahead for a bit CHamp!"

PS3 replied "Really now? Did they announce the 3DSU 3XL  with  4D gimmick already?"

845,837 Americans just wasted $70 or more on Resident Evil 6.

Game cost $60. If you buy online there is no tax.

With tax in a retailer it would be about $65. If youa re paying $70 or more for a video game you are getting ripped off.

RE6 first week > RE5 first week

and that is with the bad reviews.....I'd say RE6 is far from a flop. It is a huge success. The reviews will probably hurt its legs tho.
