With 360 now outselling PS3 weekly its going to be tough to catch up without a pricecut.

I thought the 360 had a 1 million lead in the UK, but the PS3 had caught up everywhere else. Perhaps it has, because he would still technically be telling the truth seeing as the UK is part of Europe.

Well they had about equal install bases earlier last year so they built up a 1 million lead again.  Before they were getting killed by the PS3 in most countries outside of the UK, now they are at least selling similar if it better in most countries and much better in UK.

He said "across Europe, verify that is a 1 million unit lead".

According to your argument, he could also say the 360 has a single unit lead over the PS3 by counting only a single house of a 360-only owner. That doesn't make sense.

I'm not trying to argue anything, I'm just a little confused. If I'm not mistaken, the 360 has always had roughly a 1 million sales advantage in the UK over the PS3. So if the 1 million lead really is spread across the whole of Europe, the 1 million gap in the UK must be closing, if that makes sense.

hmm, I dont think it is really the 360 being undertracked by much, is could easily be PS3 is over tracked by 200k, and 360 is undertrack by like 150k.

Either way this is kinda sketchy, and we are getting really close to fiscals time, i think we shall see once and for all then.

before we assume vgchartz is wrong we have to actually know exactly all the countries that MS considers as Europe. Vgchartz has 360 with a 1.5 million advantage in others, it just depends on how you define Europe.

^that is what I am saying, they have released earlier statements make it look like they have actually sold less than vgc, like saying they have sold 8 million in a region VGC "had" them at 8.7. So if this really is the case, and the gap is what you all think, then it would imply PS3 overtracking, more the 360 undertracking.

Hopefully, we can get numbers directly from GFK in the next few weeks that can clarify actual sales numbers at the end of 2008....So either Greenberg can be vindicated or not.

At any rate, keep the numbers as-is till we get hard numbers from GfK or another source.

More likely the 360 has a million lead in the UK and is now on even footing with the PS3 in continental Europe.
