Forums - Sales - Global Hardware + Software Up (Ending Dec. 1) After Black Friday sales

Damn MS why didnt you price drop in Europe as well? Thats the reason for this insultingly close gap. They even said numerous times that Europe is the real battleground of this gen.

Also, looks like next week will have Forza 4 outselling GT5 in 2012 sales, making it 2 years in a row :)

I thought WiiU bombed or something selling only 40k in EU?

that news was about UK and in the same article they said it was sold out there

But so many people here said they are in stock everywhere.

Who is lying to me?

I saw WiiUs in indies retaliers two days ago in Paris, France. French online retailers do have both basic & deluxe.

disappointing 3ds sales in the us. How does a 7 year old hunk of crap like the 360 keep selling? I guess people like paying for an online service they get free anywhere else?

while it's not a piece of crap I don't see how people are still buying 360s when Wii has so many loveable platformers and old school franchises and PS3 has the best and most varied exclusives this gen.  Too bad COD sheep bought the 360 in 05 and got all their friends to do it, and the cheapos who won't pony up an extra $50 cause all they want is COD or sports games and the cheapest option to play those.  Seriously people expand your horizons in gaming and not only will you have more fun with better exclusives, but also save money in the long run considering you'll have to buy an external hard drive once that 4gb runs out and have to pay $60 a year on live which is basically the same now.


who are you talking to? most people here have already decided what system to buy...

Wii launch in Europe:

 

Wii 321,565 (N/A) 321,565

The Wii U numbers are only 2 days. What's this number from, launch week? launch day?

Launch week. I'm not sure how many days it had. Probably the same as Wii U, since almost everything releases on a Friday in Europe.

For some reason I remember bbeing out ona cold Monday night with a friend queueing up for one, so that would be a Tuesday launch (same as COD and other blockbuster games). 

-Note

I have just checked and it was indeed a launch on Friday, but effective a week later. Must have been COD we were waiting for.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Could games like The Last of Us, God of War: Ascension, Sly Cooper, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, and Beyond: Two Souls be having an effect on Christmas demand for the PS3? Without being partisan, unless you're already a Gears of War fan, the PS3 appears to offer more value going forward. There is also a lot of incentive there, especially with good bundle prices, to pick up a PS3 as a second console, especially considering the online is free. I don't know if PS+ is a factor or not, though it might be a small one.

It's just hard to understand the PS3 numbers otherwise, especially when you consider 2012's lack of exclusive titles.



Liberation is doing really well

You know GT5 is undertracked since 2011... the numbers are off now... just in 2012 it already sold over 1.5 million... and 2011 sales are more near 2 million than 1.8 million showed here.

The same could be true for Forza, though.

Same can apply for Forza. Just because they made no sales milestone announcement doesnt make the vgchartz numbers concrete for Forza.

Im going by vgchartz buddy, for better or for worse.
