While Kazunori Yamauchi, the producer of the saga Gran Turismo, recently confided to the IGN possible online as early as this fall a patch to integrate damage in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Sony France welcomes its sales side of title in France. Released at home on March 26 on PS3, a foretaste of GT5 it is up to 65,000 copies during its first week of marketing we are told. A nice performance by Georges Fornay commented, CEO of SCE France, which took the opportunity to clarify the sales figures of the machine in France: "Prologue WG5 has resulted in a growth of 80% in sales of the PS3 that accentuates a little more its lead in the market for high definition; installed base approaching 700,000 copies sold in France "before adding:" in spite of offers and repositioning very aggressive price competition, PS3 confirms its sales pace 3 times higher than its main rival. "

Im pretty sure were talking about Europe here. And last time I checked that was the western territory in which the PS3 was kicking a certain console's butt that had a head start by 2 years and still hasnt managed to make significant space between the later released console.

Not a surprise in France. The last official number of ps3 we have is 630 k in this thread:

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=14512

But the date of the number is not clear.

If ps3 sells 3 times the 360, because the ps3 sell more, the 360 always sell more, so it's not as bad as that, because between the two last official number we have, the proportion was the same.

ps3: 563 k to 630 k
360: 589 k to 610 k

For gt5 prologue, the number is good.
