Forums - Sales - UK Lifetime Hardware Sales Revealed---edge-online

The combined UK lifetime sales of PS2, DS, PSP, Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii hit 32 million units as of January 31, 2009, according to data from sales monitor Gfk Chart Track.

The data, contained in retailer Game’s latest financial presentation, shows combined Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii sales of ten million units in the UK.

Wii leads the way with 4.9 million sales since launching in December 2006. Having released a year earlier, Xbox 360 sales total 3.2 million. PS3 sales sit at 1.9 million units since the system launched in March 2007.

Combined DS and PSP sales have hit 12 million units in the UK. Since launching in March 2005 the DS has moved 8.8 million units, while PSP has sold 3.2 million units since debuting in September 2005.

The ageing PS2 has sold ten million units since launching in November 2000.

Game’s report also contains lifetime hardware sales for the other territories in which the company operates, which includes France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Czech Republic and Australia.

Combined hardware sales in non-UK Game markets total 42.7 million. Individual platform sales figures largely reflect UK sales trends, with one notable exception – PS3 sales are 300,000 greater than those of Xbox 360.

Combined hardware sales in all Game markets (UK and other) total 74.7 million units.

Earlier today Game posted record results for the financial year ended January 31, 2009, reporting gains in both turnover and profit.

Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Is this data from January 31?




I though all the Sony fanboys were saying PS3 is about even with 360 in Europe. According to this article, 360 is ahead by a hefty 1 million units.

The data I think is for Jan. I think it's the same data they release a little while back.

I think the rest of the European countries make up for some of the advantages that the 360 gains in the UK (these represent UK numbers only and I think the PS3 fan argument is for all "others").

It's late in the business day here, and meetings have been hammering me....sorry if that sentance above is a little jacked.

This data seems to be as of Jan 31 2009, so there is going to be some differences from VGC numbers, but overall the UK numbers align almost identically. AS for others, there seems to be some degree of ddifference in those numbers.

Looking at the data, it seems like all consoles are overtracked in those other countries that they have stores in.

360 PS3 Wii
UK 3,157,480 1,867,970 4,965,102
France 1,225,855 1,298,354 3,129,816
Spain 642,184 1,073,907 1,356,171
Australia 635,803 436,360 1,034,802
Non-UK 2,503,842 2,808,621 5,520,789

The Non-UK are the quick tallies for France, Spain and Australia alone, which tops the estimates.
