Is there a NPD type source for European or PAL market?

There's GFK / Chart Track, but they don't release numbers on a regular basis. You can sometimes catch a few random reports here and there based on their data, which ioi sometimes uses to make adjustments to vgchartz's data. They've always been pretty near Vgchartz's numbers as far as I remember though.

Zavvi is offering an Xbox 360 Pro, with copies of Assassin’s Creed, Lost Odyssey and Halo 3, for just £210.

...

Pretty awesome deal, I'd be in for something like that :)

...

Waiting for the full price cut to hit Australia, and to see some of the new bundles...

@all: you would HOPE that 360 > PS3 in Europe this week - otherwise it would be HUGE egg on MS's face. 

 


==> remember, it is not a full week so maybe it will not be enought to beat the PS3 in Europe.



Time to Work !

 Thanks a lot. With console war so close this gen (especiallythe battle between PS360), it's hard to predict any trends.

 Good for the European, who has historically been systematically screwed by console companies. Now it's your chance to show them that deep discount > than all.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

I really hope this cut comes to Australia and MASSIVELY boosts 360 sales for at least two months right across PAL. Force Sony to cut the PS3's price. Competition people come on.

I can see 360 ahead of PS3 this week

 Is this your prediction, or have you got some official data? Because personally I can't see 360 being ahead of the PS3 in the whole of Europe, just UK.

Microsoft wants to hope that the 360 is ahead of Europe NEXT week, not this week. This week there is only three days of cut prices and four days of ZILCH console sales due to people waiting for the price cut.

Also, gamers should want the 360 to outsell the PS3 in Europe, at least for 2 months, in order to force a Sony price cut in response, which will ensure Microsoft cuts again at the holidays and so on.
