Forums - Sony - Could March actually be a bumper month for the PS3 in Europe?

Just realised that there are a fair few potentially good hits out this month.

  • Rainbow Six Vegas 2
  • Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (I thought it was being released in April)
  • Battlefield: Bad Company
  • Everybody's Golf: World Tour
  • Condemned 2
  • Viking: Battle for Asgard

Also with others that have been released and a few that could be good or bad, not sure:

  • Army of Two
  • Dynasty Warriors 6
  • Lost: The Video Game
  • Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
  • Fifa Street 3
  • Unreal Tournament III
  • BlackSite
  • Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
  • Sega Superstars Tennis
  • Midnight Club: Los Angeles
So all in all, there are a few games in there that could be pretty good, making it a bumper month for decent PS3 titles in preparation for GTAIV next month.

There will be movie bundle on march 19th, and GT5P bundle on 29th.
Then there is a possibility of x360 50 euro pricecut in Europe.

So, it`s hard to say, how sales will go on.
Well, till release of those bundles, i don`t expect sales to jump over 100k.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far

Far too many FPS in my view. Although Prologue for just £17 (if I look hard enough) might be a nice bargain to warm me over to the next big title I want.



Hmm, pie.

Yeah, there is alot of FPS's coming out for the PS3 now, although there are only a few that will be good.  Army of Two, RSV2 and Condemned are the only ones that look good though.

You're right about Prologue though....initially I thought it was a bit of a con, but 75+ cars and 6 tracks as well as split screen 2 player and online gaming (if the EU version is the same as the US version), for £17 is pretty good value IMHO.

I don't think GT is gonna affect sales this month since it is only coming out on the 29th. Maybe we'll see the effect in April.



PSN ID: T_Gears

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).

17-18£ in UK and 40 euro in France/Germany.
I wonder why..

17£ is only 22 euro, WTF? Is it because of translation or what?

Well, definetely GT5P will be N1 seller on first week in UK.

It RRP in the UK is £25, but you can find it reduced to £17/£18 is some stores.  Normally £25 equates to 40 euros, but the bad rates just now make it look cheaper.

£17 is a great price for the game, although it's not a complete game, it will feel like a pretty complete game considering everything you're getting with it.

I sincerely hope that there is a trade-in option when the full game makes an appearance though, even if it's £20 + tradein Prologue for the full game...that would be good.
