Forums - Sales - Euro-salesage PS3/360 Sales figures as at Dec 07. x360 is in deeper trouble

zeross on 01 August 2008

This was not picked up in the september Edge magazine thread but Edge has an article about MS attempts to get a foothold in europe and the problems they face, anyway dotted around the article are 3 tables which when used together can be used to extrapolate the two consoles sales as at 31 December 07.

First of all at 31 Dec 07 in Continental Europe (ie not including the UK/Ireland) the first chart states that the 360 had sold 2.4m and the PS3 2.26m by that date.

Pie chart 1 states that 55% of european 360 sales of are in the UK/Ireland compared to 45% in the rest of europe giving a total figure at the end of december07 of 5.33m

Pie chart 2 states that 28% of PS3 sales are in the UK/Ireland compared to 72% in the rest of Europe meaning total PS3 sales in Europe of 3.14m 

Therefore at the end of 2007 in Europe the 360 was beating the PS3 5.33m to 3.14m or rather a lead of 2.1m units according to the data Edge used (Screen Digest).

They also rated Soulcalibur an 8! Woot!

However, they gave FFT: A-2 an 8, and FFIV remake a 7, citing multiple releases(I'm sure).

Don't be fooled, FFT: A2 is good, but the IV remake is possibly the best RPG on DS, and it definitely beats A2, which I would give a 7(going by edges scale, which is very harsh).

The highest scoring game was Braid for XBLA with a 9/10. Edge actually compared it to Bioshock. Get it on your radars.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I've never even heard of Braid before EDGE gave it a 9. I heard FF4 was actually good, which made me scratch my head when I saw they gave it a 7, just like Hail to the Chimp.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

That would mean 360 sold 2.93m in UK/Ireland through 2007, which doesn't add up. 360 didn't even pass 2 million in UK until April 2008, and Ireland has 7.5% the population of UK.

It's Screen Digest anyway, who are just analysts, their numbers have been different from Chart-Track before, but not by that much.
