Yes yes this seems like another one of those 'they cited our numbers' threads. However, (correct me if i'm wrong) but this seems to be the first time that a site actually directly quotes our 'Others numbers'. Previously it was either WW or Americas/Japan only. So this would mean our europe/others(or whatever you wanna call em) numbers are reasonable and are to be trusted eh?

Anyways, keep up the good work!

I just emailed ioi this one, from CVG:

Xbox 360 was last week outsold by everything except Game Boy as PS3 sales make a charge for Wii's typically huge lead.

This follows the September 360 rush, as gamers eager to snap up some Halo 3 action pushed sales of Microsoft's console above that of Wii.

But on the week ending 21 October, European 360 sales settled at 37,000 - bottom of the current-generation list by a fair shot.

Meanwhile, here recent PS3 price cuts, which saw the launch of a cut-down 40GB PS3 for £299 and the 60GB model slashed to £349, has launched PS3 sales to a touch over 64,000 in the same week, falling just 6,000 sales short of Wii.

There's still no contest for DS though, which sold 171,000 in Europe last week according to VGChartz figures, and will surely soon outnumber humans on the planet.

Here are the hardware figures for Europe for the week ending 21 Oct:

* DS: 171,260
* Wii: 70,322
* PS3: 64,087
* PS2: 57,152
* PSP: 54,449
* 360: 37,303
* GBA: 2,2861


Total: 456,859

Our "Others" numbers definitely benefit from having no real competition. I've been pushing ioi to try and focus more on those instead of always on NA since I think there's more potential there even if it's more difficult.

^Good move. GFK throws out scraps every once in a blue moon. VGC provides weekly hardware numbers.

very nice, it is irritating how little we get "official" numbers, I mean Japan has 2 or 3 companies (i think) tracking sales and giving weekly public figures.... America has one company giving monthy numbers and less of it is public, and Europe has one company for UK/Ireland (i think Denmark too) which is chart-track who give messed up charts but no numbers (messed up because multiplat games are put together even though Pokemon and such is split up)
And the rest of Eu has GfK which dont often release numbers and it's random when they decide to. (though prosugno seems to get Italy numbers quite often)

This site is definately the best for the PAL regions by far

Awesome , GamesIndustry.biz using VGC Pal data !!!

It's funny how this little move garned the limelight to VGChartz.
