I have never heard of them...

Anyone else from the UK heard of them?

I think I've seen this site mentioned once before on VGC with some news about their sales, but I think it got ridiculed for being a nobody of an online retailer.

incgamers.com seems to have some sort of theme going here; it's them everytime this week that's been breaking this 360 pricecut news - probably got a guy working for both sites or something.

So how much of an impact do you think they can have on overall UK sales?

myvouchercodes.co.uk are a drop in the bucket, but this priceut has taken place in Game and HMV already, so I expect 360 to beat the PS3 very, very comfortably this Christmas in the UK.

So in numbers, how much of a difference in hardware units do you think there'll be?



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Huh, scrap that terrible prediction, actually. I hadn't looked at UK sales at all lately - I'd just assumed 360 was winning handily.

7th Nov - PS3 @ 27k vs. 360 @ 27k

14th Nov - PS3 @ 32k vs. 360 @ 70k (Modern Warfare 2 bundles boost 360 heavily)

21st Nov - PS3 @ 35k vs 360 @ 55k (Boost starts to drop off)

28th Nov - PS3 @ 45k vs. 360 @ 49k

5th Dec - PS3 @ 52k vs. 360 @ 63k

12th Dec - PS3 @ 60k vs. 360 @ 66k

I'm really not the right person to ask about predictions, but I reckon perhaps:

19th Dec - PS3 @ 75k vs. 360 @ 95k (Boost from 360 pricecut to £106)

26th Dec - PS3 @ 68k vs. 360 @ 75k

So 360 beats PS3 in December by ~42k. Not actually the massive win I initially thought. Just comfortable.

if those sales are correct id guess 360 would beat ps3 by 65 to 75 k in december in the uk.

my guess 19th dec-ps3 @ 70k vs 360 @ 100k

26 dec 26 dec-ps3 @ 70k vs 360 @90K



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Oh FFS, we're using MyVoucherCodes again.

Listen to me, and listen now.

MY VOUCHER CODES IS NOT A LARGE VIDEO GAME RETAILER.

IT GIVES OUT VOUCHER CODES.

That site seems to continually post baseless crap (Like the 360 being more popular than the Wii because web searches say so), so can we blacklist it or something?

EDIT: I'm sure the 360 price cut did give it a massive sales boost, which is all well and good. But citing MyVoucherCodes as a source for video game sales is like quoting Sainsbury's. They are both big in their respective businesses, but not the gaming industry.

According to his prediction for the remaining weeks in December, 11k + 6k + 20k + 7k = 44k. The week afterwards could make it up to about 50k range.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

wholikeswood on 17 December 2009

Oh my bad, 63 - 52 = 11k

Oops.

Yeah, so ~44k difference.

well being cheaper than the PSP and the Dsi does help O_o
but why people are buying the arcade?!


To play the multiplat,consoles only and exclusive games,what else?

You do realise that the 360 is far more powerfull and with far more games than PSP and DS...I hope.

Are you joking?

No console can outpower a handheld in terms of library, bar perhaps the PS2 and SNES.
