Forums - Sales - 360 outselling PS3 since gta launch

Diomedes1976 on 29 May 2008

Its plausible ,many people are waiting these weeks for the MGSIV bundle.

Whats very interesting is that GTAIV meant a 8% further of increase in PS3 sales ,over the GT5P launch period sales ,that were at the same time an increase over the easter period sales ...the PS3 has managed to increase a lot its sales because of software alone.The 360 has also managed a big boost ,but it has had a big price drop.

Am I missing something? Nowhere in the article did it say that the 360 was outselling PS3 in raw numbers, just that the percentage increase was bigger for the 360 than the PS3... 

EDIT: Whoops first line lol.

So the effect of the price drop is seen here

meh eurogamer is x360 biased anyway.

Trust i live in the uk and i know of alot more people getting ps3 then x360's as of late.
i even go as far as to go into wolverhampton city center and ask about in the shops how well the consoles are selling. they always say ps3 is selling more

trust i live in the UK too, and i don't know anyone who has brought the game on PS3.


 They have, but in my store it's 4:1 copies of 360:PS3. However....we have sold more PS3's with GTA's than 360's with GTA. I think it's because people are only buying PS3 for GTA.

There will be MGS4 bundles for Europe, just not the 80Gb one NA is getting.

Guys, your ability of spinning numbers and news is outstanding. MS and Sony's executives should be tought by you... Wow...
Any thought that some of you are really tedious and exhausting, popping up in every thread that favors MS and starting spinning around? No...
Lets hope, MGS4 will consume most of your time. If it doesn't, I don't know what to think of....

Actually, whilst Chart-Track generally cover 90% of the UK market, for certain games it can be as high as 95%.

With what you’re doing in the UK, you’re working with 7,000 retail outlets, which you estimate is around 90% of the market?

It’s probably closer to 8,000, actually, so in the UK, in the leisure market, that’s around 90%. We’ve done establishment surveys with people like Take Two on San Andreas or Liberty City Stories or whatever or with EA on their products, and we’ve found that it can be as high as 95% coverage, so we really do have an extremely authoritative panel in the UK.

Those certain games happen to be GTA games . So this should be more accurate:

Software:

GTA IV: 1.350,000 (95% non-extrapolated)
360: 57% (769,500)
PS3: 43% (580,500)

GTA IV: 1,421,000 (100% extrapolated)
360: 57% (810,000)
PS3: 43% (611,000)
