Forums - Sales Discussion - PS3 will pass 360 in Europe in two weeks time.

Munkeh111 on 28 May 2008

PS3 is selling well in Europe, much quicker than the 360, mostly due to brand loyalty. In america, PS3 and 360 are selling about the same, but the longer the battle continues, the more effect blu-ray is going to have, as more and more people pick up HD sets. Throughout this year, the library gap is going to increase as more and more good PS3 titles are released (MGS 4 should have a major impact) and so the reasons to get a 360 over PS3 decrease, so PS3 sales will be a lot better than 360 sales this holiday ww

If you align the launches of the Wii and PS3 in Europe, the PS3 is only 800K units behind. I don't think people realise how well the PS3 is selling in Europe.
Holy shit!  You are correct; I had not realized (or had forgotten) that it was doing THAT well.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

According to Sony they already have outsold the 360 in Europe.

 Because the PS3 outsells the 360 by roughly 30K every week, Sony have probably shipped more PS3's to Europe than Microsoft have shipped 360's to Europe.

Why has the PS3 caught up so quickly? Is the PS3 selling really well, or is the 360 just doing badly, or a combination of the two?

DISCUSS... 


its because more people worldwide want a PS3 and not an xbox 360 full stop, in the years to come ps3 will rocket ahead and i cant wait for that to happen.
