Forums - Sales - 360 outsells PS3 in Europe again, and wins Spain and Italy!

X360 outselling PS3 in my country ?Suuuuure ....

You should go to some shops here and see the 360 section totally marginated and with the boxes of the consoles smelling to many months ago ...

Thats the pity with the "Others " data .....its impossible to check them .

And when data comes ,as the 194 000 PS3 sold back in July in Spain ,ioi doesnt include it so there you go ....

FJ called it. He gets a cookie!!



Currently a 60gb PS3 is €609 in Ireland. It's a bundle that includes 2 games and a second SIXAXIS controller.

€609 = $845 (roughly)

Lol at this.  For one, Others are not impossible to track.  That's one of the most ignorant statements I belive you have made so far.  There are reports of data from different agencies.  Even if there weren't, North America and Japan are VERY well tracked.  That leaves only "others" in the equation.  Sony's own "sales" estimates, provided about 2 months ago, were within a tiny margin of error of this site's numbers -- maybe 1% on a worldwide basis.  But hey, all that data is just made up and your data is accurate.  FJ called it alright...  Someone find the link that compares sony's released sales figures and compare it to VGC for mr. fanboy here to digest.

And I think I'll trust the "numbers" rather than your stops to a few stores in your area...

Ahh yah this is really good data here. There has got to be a way to track stores and their section sizes and how old the boxes are. If the boxes are moldy all the better.

 



PS360 ftw!

Currently playing..........

Gears of War 2, GTA IV Lost and Damned, Little Big Planet (Yes I said I had no interest but my girl wanted to try it and we did and now Im hooked )

The 360 would be doing better or at least have a better installed base in Germany if Gears of War and Dead Rising had not been banned there.

 Yeah that doesn´t help the 360 at all, you can still get thise games but they can´t be advertised or displayed, another reason the modding scene is pretty big here. As Rol sayed if we wan´t those games we can get them, still there is less public awareness for the 360. What I think got lots of peoples attention around here was the price drop combined with bundled games and some very good Bioshock adds.

Well it's nice that it's getting some momentum. It'll be interesting to see how Halo 3 helps things over there.

As a quick aside, the Wii has now overtaken the 360 in France, Germany and Spain. 
I don't know if it means anything but sweden's (i think) biggest store, www.webhallen.se has the 360 listed as 4th most bought item, while Wii is 10th and PS3 not on the list. Never seen that before.

 



Don't want to break up the party, but looking at European sales it's still looks like the same Nintendomination that's been going on all year. The DS is the real story in the market selling at levels over 160k over the past few weeks, significantly better than its sales in the US and Japan as of late. The Wii is still outselling the 360 by better than 2 to 1.

Yeah the 360 has been selling better with the price cut, but nothing has change that dramatically. Microsoft still has an image issue as far as video games go on that contenent. The only way you can praise 360 sales is to compare it to the PS3 which everyone knows desperately needs a price cut there.

Yeah especially since the core actually matches the Wii's price. Not sure why they didn't do the same here. I think in some places you can get a wii and 360 for the price of a ps3.

Probably something to do with how weak the USD is vs. the EUR, and Microsoft being a US company vs. Sony and Nintendo being from JP.



Reality has a Nintendo bias.

I am from Spain and i can tell you x360 here doesn't sell at all. You can check the biggest game franchise here, www.game.es, PS3 is on the 53rd position on the top 100 while the x360 is on the 68 and i can tell you it is the first i have ever seen the x360 on the top 100. The PS3 outsold the total amount of x360 in the first two months, and since then the Wii has been the most sold console, the PS3 the second, and very far from them the x360.

You sound just like Diomedes.....
