in the holidays I'm pretty sure than the US is the biggest market.... it certainly has the biggest bump.

Hardware wice others was bigger than USA last december.

Others vs. USA

 

Looks like it goes both ways.  Xbox 360 sees shift to NA over the Holidays and PS3 stays Others?

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 30th Nov 2008 to 27th Dec 2008:

 

Console PS3 X360
America
740,675
1,611,184
Total Others
947,480
1,205,603

I'm a bit surprised EU is bigger for PS3

Why? The EU is a far stronger market for the PS3 than NA.

wont the 360 boost be even bigger next week...? its only one day for this week. whereas next week it will be a weeks worth of the walkmart and others promo.

I think the Walmart 99$ Arcade deal is a one-day thing, though.

@ Darth: Why would you be surprised? America may drive strong holiday hardware sales, but EU is still more kind to the PS3, no?

360 is looking to do between 250-255k this week, while PS3 will be over 270k.

@ darth )

uhm.. the PS3 is at 12m in "others" (10.41m only europe), while it's only at 10.09m in US (where it launched more than 4 month earlier), so that should tell you that PS3 is bigger in EU

@wholikeswood & kantor

no everyone on this site keeps saying how NA is the most important thing in the holidays, so I had taken it for granted that it was the best for PS3 too in the holidays, obviously thats not the case

I wonder if others is the best for wii too



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

NA is the largest region in the holidays. But, last year especially, the PS3 isn't as popular in NA as it is in Europe.

Wii is probably higher in NA than EU.
