Forums - Sales - EU Sales UP! -- PS3 falls Further behind

Wii sells so well without any Significant Software releases, i dont know how this is happening, god and Carnival Games and M&S are going to be in the charts forever ( i think CG are bundled in the UK in some stores). Wii Music and Animal Crossing will move some aditional consoles in Europe.

DS does well

And all quiet on the HD front...

Killergran, so how much % is domination?

anyway,

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 24th Mar 2007 to 08th Nov 2008:

Console PS3 X360
Japan
1,644,413
415,449
Total Others
7,877,475
5,551,365

Since I said I would bite, I kinda have to answer, don't I?

I would say that the PS3 is dominating the X360 in japan, if only... the numbers weren't so damn low! I mean, they're both doing pathetically in Japan. I bet they got their asses kicked by the PS2 bigtime! (not to mention the ____)

But you're right. There's some major buttwhopping going on there. Now, if only that didn't put the PS3 under the X360 in the rest of the world... :)

What I see you doing here, and the reason I'm agreeing only in part with you, is picking out numbers that snugly fit your theory of PS3 domination and ignoring the ones that don't. The numbers you are giving do indeed show PS3 domination. But it doesn't at all point to the big picture. The numbers only show around 10% of the PS3 sales, and even less than that of the 360's sales.

But I'll give you Japan Domination if you give me 1.2% is not domination. Fair trade?

EDIT: Why didn't you use the entire PS3 time btw? It would have furthered your point ;) Unnamed consoles still kick both their asses though.

 



This is invisible text!

you people need to realize that the holiday season is coming up and it seems ever great game possible was released in the last 2 weeks.

I wouldnt count any games released a failure as no one can afford to by 15 games at once.

Damn, Europe is Nintendo's land. Looks like Europe is pretty much casual, as Wii is selling without any significant releases for the past months. When Wii Music and AC come out, it will be chaos.

Still sad about core gamers that own the Wii, I bet most of them bought another console seeing as there aren't any releases for months. Probably next year things will change and we will see all those core gamers buying games once and for all, that is when there are games available to buy.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Wow what an amazing week for Nintendo. Wii at 200k is incredible, wonder how much it could do with big releases?? But DS at 300k is just....there's no words. PS360 did ok with their big releases, nothing amazing. LBP doesnt seems to be a system seller at all.

 

Yea, nice downplaying buddy. Meh, PS360 have much larger incrases of around 50k overall, but nothing too good, nothing can compete with a 5k increase. LBP helps PS3 have a higher percentage increase then 360, but bah, it has no use at all.

 

 I think you don't understand how incredible 200k is. PS360 boosts were previsible because of a lot of BIG software releases. Wii is still selling a lot more without no new game. As for LBP, it didnt help that much, in fact I think those PS3 sales could be the same without the release of this game due to christmas coming soon. BTW es-tu québécois?



@ Crazyman

So if X360 was ahead of PS3 by 5 Mil, WW at the PS3 launch, and it is now, 5 mil WW ahead currently, how is it Sony Domination again? Come on man, lets be realistic. I like your motivation, and think the PS3 is a great console and has made leaps since launch, but you cant set yourself up like that.

On topic, great seeing all the console numbers up from last week. Numbers keep getting better and better each week leading up to the holidays.



Well this has been entertaining to say the least. Congratulations on video games boosting the economy, SOMETHING has to. Keep up the fine work fanboys, you've got a hell of a show here.



Go Wii and DS!!!!

I still don't see how anyone still thinks PS3 will catch up. How many "savior" games need to come and go before everyone realizes that the PS3 is never going to blow up to the point it will catch 360? Lair, Warhawk, GT5:Prologue, Ratchet, Uncharted, DMC4 and GTA IV on their "original homes", Metal Gear, Little Big Planet, etc. etc. have all been the "key" to getting sales going.

With the exception of MGS4, none have really made an impact.

Maybe Final Fantasy AND Gran Turismo 5 make an impact, but now that 360 has FFXIII, it's not a big deal. Japan won't make up those numbers.

They are almost behind as much in North America as they have sold TOTAL in their best territory. Sony screwed it up. They have the best hardware, easily. But they are learning that, like last gen, when Xbox was arguably the best hardware, that this means nada.




 

The probelm is Sony 1st party can't make enough games for PS3 to be self-sufficient. If they somehow had Rare all gen, and Sony Japan actaully did something other than make Loco Roco and Patapon, they would be absoulty fine in terms of games. In terms of PS3 vs Xbox though, PS3's current library> Xbox's enrie library.

 

 

Well that was sort of the point, wasn't it?  The best hardware alone doesn't win.  You need games, price point, service, quality, etc. And being first to market doesn't hurt.  



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
