Hmmm... I think I orginally predicted 750k, but this is pretty close I suppose. Lets give it a month to settle down, then we'll see where the figures are. On a side note - are these Sony figures to be "trusted"? They had better not be pulling "shipment" tricks on us again... :P

I understand your reservations about Sony reported numbers Shams. That said looking at Sony's numbers for the UK 173k versus the 165k that Chart Track reported. I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Well I still don´t believe in Sony but if vgcharts says the numbers are okay we can probably believe So it was a good start for Sony in Europe! Now they have to show how good they can survive in a marathon - this is gonna be fun to watch cause the big 3 should show us some real strength this time... Probably the shipment was really 1 million and not 700k and that´s why it seemed to be such a bad launch.

Well ioi you had the numbers very straight !!I dont know how you do it but concerning the PS3 (and unlike the Wii and X360 ) you always out out very adjusted numbers .

By the way ,excellent numbers ,I expected something more but this will come in the coming days .

Are the numbers just through the weekend?

The figures are quite impressive considering its the most expensive console and some countries in Europe have a very low GDP, like portugal, which still managed to sell 90% of it's share of consoles.
