VG chartz doesn't agree with them. I mean if that's double the sales, then what would 360 sales be like without the price drop?

[Cyrus365]

It just meant before 360 in Europe was around 35-40 K range pre-price drop, and now it is where it is, and now it's alot closer, however PS3 is winning, which chart track (Europe NPD's has confirmed).

[Time Lord]

This from Kotaku

"Last week, Microsoft announced that sales of the 360 in Europe had doubled since the introduction of recent price cuts . No doubting the accuracy of their claims, but without actual sales figures for the 360 or its competitors, we had our doubts as to their importance. Doubts that are looking fairly justified today, with both SCEE and ChartTrack confirming to Reg Hardware that while 360 sales have indeed doubled over the past four weeks, it hasn't meant much in Britain, with the PS3 is still outselling it, something it's been doing so for the past 15 weeks. They then go on to say that even if you combined 360 and PS3 sales the Wii would still be "healthily" ahead on sales, but that's something you probably could have figured out on your own"

The price cut was weeks ago. The effect of a price drop eventually goes away.

Good Job to Nintendo & Sony in Europe as usual

The xbox did get a noticeable sales boost especially in the UK

In Spain and italy the PS3 outsold the Wii (its a start) =)

[sammy_mantra]

MCV UK confrimed that PS3 has been outselling x360 for the last 15 weeks

even during the PRICE CUT week PS3 outsold x360 in UK.

How on earth would x360 outsell PS3 in UK when even CHARTTRACK is confirming that PS3 outsells x360 handily every week in EUROPE

http://www.reghardware.co.u...

""Even this [price cut] hasn't been enough to put them ahead of UK PS3 sales," he said.

But Chart Track’s confirmed to us that Xbox 360 UK sales did double in weeks 12, 13, 14 and 15, when compared to weeks 8, 9, 10 and 11.

UK console sales monitor Chart Track confirmed that for the past 15 weeks the PS3 has largely kept ahead of the Xbox 360. However, a spokesman admitted that the two machines' units have been "extremely close" in some weeks. "

[Shaka2K6]

No price drop is gonna save ya microflops hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[chaosatom333]

Ps3 is going to be in the lead all year, it's as simple as that.

[eagle21]

preach on! :)

[TheEndzor]

Go sony!

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 1]

Looking good for my Baby;)PS3;)

[Voiceofreason]

Dont you mean Wii? It is clearly the current gen leader.

[Warbletot]

Boooooo...VoiceofTreason

[marichuu]

I can't believe the PS2 is actually still selling this much... something must be wrong >_>

[cmrbe]

Believe me when i say that third world countries are only now just starting to get into Last gen. PS2 might not be revelent much more in Developed countries but its still very revelent to third world countries. Sony understands this and is why they keep supporting the PS consoles. This is something most x360 fans don't get with the 10 year cycle Sony supports. It a big big world and not everyone can afford to upgrade every 4 years, cares about online because they can't afford it or don't have the ISP.

[TruthBTold]

Lots of amazing games to play GOW,GOW2 and next Im playing Shadow ofthe Colussus.

[marichuu]

@cmrbe
Yea that explains a lot.
I'm just surprised that it's such high numbers just for one week.
I have a PS2 myself, and I'm not saying it's bad or anything. (If you were refering to me as an 360 fan)

[thePatriot]

like they dont track xbox or gamecube. That day wont come for another two to three years. and once it comes,It will feel like something is missing. and the ps2 will be at 200 million sold.

[cmrbe]

I am not replying as if you are an x360 fan. I was just trying to explain why the PS2 is still selling alot to answer your question. Because its dirt cheap and with a huge selection. Also the market for it is quite huge because Sony is still supporting it and as such it has a huge following in third world countries which means it still sell alot.

[marichuu]

@3.5
The PS2 isn't that much cheaper in Denmark compared to a 360 for example... I guess that's why I'm a bit confused since I don't know the prices worldwide.

[TheHater]

In no way I am saying these numbers are correct. But I am just want to know what are the "other" countries?

Edit: @Cyrus365
it seems VGchartz.com even fail at identifying which country belong to which continent :)

[Cyrus365]

My guess is Others refers to theser regions Parts of Africa (like south africa) which is considered to PAL Region, as well as regions like India (Which also falls under PAL region), Hong Kong, Korea, Parts of eastern europe, russia, etc.

India, and HK, Korea, etc. should fall under ASian terrorities (And be combined with Japan, but it isn't.)

[Cyrus365]

No that's how it is reported by chart track, etc. Europe is like basically everything that is PAL region pretty much (I know Japan is also PAL, but for some reason it's always be seperated, and only that region), you would think they'd have 1 region for NA, 1 for Europe, and 1 say for Asia (where you'd lump Japan, HK, Korea, India, etc.).

[LightningPS3]

I predict XBOX 360 sales will beat PS3 sales 3-1 or 4-1 worldwide.

GTA IV is gonna be huge and it's basicly 360 exclusive.

Blame Sony, not me.

[cmrbe]

3-1 or 4-1 in favour of the x360?. The worst it can ever get SW wise for the PS3 is that the x360 outsells it 2:1. Mark my words now. It will be very very close. It will definately be less than 2:1. The x360 has the edge as it has a bigger NA installbase.

[LightningPS3]

Hardware sales, 360 will have an edge of about 3-1 or more the month GTA IV comes out.

NPD for April

360 = 740
PS3 = 210

[Cyrus365]

Well your gonna be wrong for sure on your APril predicition, GTA IV comes out what April 29th? I don't see it pushing 300-400 K consoles in 2 days for 360 or for that matter for Sony in Europe with it's GTA bundles.

MAY's # are the ones that'll be interesting...

[solar]

"GTA IV is gonna be huge and it's basicly 360 exclusive."

are you drunk?

[Heavy-h]

Ps3 will not sell that little come on when people see GTA they will think Playstation. and would most problary pick the PS3 bundle. the 360 will have more software sold i dont know where u r getting the figures from mate. secondly if that does happen the month after wat does the PS3 have oh wait MGS4 and that is a very well known brand which will help for the poor sales in your mind

[PLiPhaze]

I'll go record with cmrbe & if it happens I'll post to acknowledge it (I'll even ignore your slip up with the months & respond for may)

[Heavy-h]

yh honestly r u drunk 360 exclusive
wat is so exclusive
oh wait the DLC oh wow i really need some more parts of a game that will take ages to complete thanks MS

[Obama]

Are you crazy? Gta4 will give ps3 a sale boost as well.

[sammy_mantra]

You mean x360 will outsell PS3 in europe with the GTA4 launch

How delusional

you know it very well that PS3 outsells x360 in every region of EUROPE.
It is only in UK where there is some competition. even during the PRICE CUT week of x360 PS3 went on to beat it.

Not to mention that only PS3 version of GTA4 will sell in other regions of EUROPE

Expect PS3 to beat x360 atleast 2:1 worlwide during GTA4's launch

Can someone please report HIS COMMENTS as SPAM

[Imalwaysright]

No one buys a system just for 1 game. No one is going to fork € 400 just to play a game.
MS Paid 50 millions for 1 reason and 1 reason only: to steal market share from PS2 userbase. The problem for MS is that if you owned a PS2 yes you might be a GTA fanboy but its more than likely that you are also a MGS fanboy, a FF fanboy, a GoW fanboy, a Jak and Daxter fanboy, a GT fanboy, etc etc. MS disregarded the fact that the PS brand was made by franchises not franchise and imo made the mistake of spending 50 millions on the DLC. Money that could be used to buy 1st party developers or fixing the RROD. I could be wrong but if i had to bet my money on wich system will benefit the most from GTAIV i would bet on the PS3 even though i agree when people say that the 360 version will be superior because of the DLC.

On topic VG chartz is crap and i cant believe that this crap gets approved.

[sammy_mantra]

No one buys defective consoles

especially the europeans. they will never buy dfective consoles. An x360 costs half as much as a PS3 there and still PS3 beats it 2:1

UK's no1 Retailer GAME is advertising the PS3 VERSION ONLY

http://www.game.co.uk

also look at their preorder chart too

50m/100m wont bring in new consumers. The people with XBOXes will buy X360. PS1/PS2 oweners would buy PS3 . as simple as that

People are more interested in GT5+GTA+MGS4 rather than just GTA4

also PS3 version has better FR and more realistic colours

[Bathyj]

He could be right. Probably the only people who might buy GTA on PS3 are the ones who owned a GTA game before on PS2. Were they many of them?

EDIT
Actually you want to hear something really funny.

GTA Franchise SOLD on Xbox
4 Million

GTA Franchise SOLD on PS2
45 Million

Why are we even listening to these idiots, its a Playstation game no matter what console it ends up on just like Splinter Cell is an Xbox game.

PS. Avatar is from Planet Terror, Rose Mcgowan, Nasty film.

[rawg]

I think they might have sold a few copies of GTA on the PS2... LOL

What's up with you avatar picture?

[thePatriot]

if the xbox 360 outsels the ps3 worldwide for the month of april. I will agree with every coment you post till the end ot n4g.com if not, you must buy 10 copies of mgs4 and pray to them every night.

[SUP3R]

Most delusional uninformed comment EVER!

[cmrbe]

I didn't know you meant HW. You must be carzy then. I don't want to waste my time explaining it.

[wiizy]

good to see wii on top as usual and increasing..... must kill fanboys

[eagle21]

Anyway, Great job Nintendo and Sony!

360 launched........worldwide fall 2005 :(
wii.......launched worldwide fall 2006 :)
Playstation 3......launched in Europe March 23, 2007 :) yep.

that explains a lot.

[OJ_juice]

go sony and nintendo!!

[Kaz Hirai]

Another perfect week for the Sony Side!
I see my old arch-enemy Nintendouche are also doing well!
As for Nazisoft- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! IMBECILES!!!!!!

52 days until Judgment Day, Nazisoft!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[GiantEnemyCrab]

made up bullsh!t. means nothing to anyone when it's all just pulled out of thin air.

Here I thought we were going to ban all vgchartz and pachter posts here and so far we've gotten both today.

oh well.

[TheREALHarryEtTubMan]

Keep crying Power of Green or whatever desperate XBOT you are. Get used to stay in DEAD LAST 6TH PLACE. That's where the 360 is coming again this generation. GUARANTEED. Suck it up XBOT. No one wants your 3FIXME. Enjoy what you like. No one else wants that P.O.S.

It's barely beggining for PS3. Sony will be ACTIVELY TRYING to shut Microsft out soon enough... as for now they are just coasting and selling consoles. Microsft are desperately trying to keep up.

The FLOPbox will FAIL. 100% guaranteed.

[TheEndzor]

Anything negative towards the xbox will result in the xbots bashing its credibility and/or completely ignoring it

[carl ps3]

the U.S ones last week were FAKE

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Ah yes, NPD are fake. I can see why you love these numbers so much.

Sorry disagree and say what you want but these numbers are fake, guesses at best.

Give me Charttrack numbers and then sure I will agree to them but not some made up website who even NPD has taken notice with as being completely inaccurate.

@Harry: You are an angry fishhead aren't you. The only thing in last place is the CRAPSTATION (tm). That is the truth and unless the POS3's install base grew 10mil overnight get used to it because it's going to be a loong time before you get out of that hole. ouch

[4D]

Celebrate second place in sales for EU/others for the current generation consoles 360/PS3/Wii. Wow you beat the 360 by 18,000 in sales if these figures are correct. Want a cookie??? 360 still sold 72,000 for the week. 360 dead??? LOL. Far from it. PS3 doing better than 360 in that region??? Sure. Wii whoopin both thier asses??? Obviously.

In the great words of the immortal Ricky Bobby. If your not first, your last. So wtf you PS3 fanboys happy about??? You went from 1st to worst this generation.

Bu Bu Bu Bu 360 had a head start. Wii is really just competing with the PS2 right???

Kaz Hirai is gay Mwah-ha-ha-ha 52 days till he comes out of the closet.

Lets get some sales figures that really matter SDF. Wheres the Blu-Ray sales. You guys can celebrate those figures. At least your first in that sales race :p

[GiantEnemyCrab]

This is just weekly however at that pace they might beat the 360's install base right about the time MS is ready to launch their next system. I call that failure for a system with 120mil (according to fishheads) userbase that was supposed to fall right in line for the POS3 and being #1 for the last 2 gens.

Definately the Wii is on top with the 360 getting a little action, POS3 is left to sniff the sheets and get an eye full of booty.

[Meus Renaissance]

Sony already confirmed they sold more in the UK

[sammy_mantra]

http://www.reghardware.co.u...

"Even this [price cut] hasn't been enough to put them ahead of UK PS3 sales," he said.

But Chart Track’s confirmed to us that Xbox 360 UK sales did double in weeks 12, 13, 14 and 15, when compared to weeks 8, 9, 10 and 11.

UK console sales monitor Chart Track confirmed that for the past 15 weeks the PS3 has largely kept ahead of the Xbox 360. However, a spokesman admitted that the two machines' units have been "extremely close" in some weeks.

VGCRAP is crap you know. even during the PRICE CUT week PS3 outsold X360 in UK not to even mention other EU regions where x360 barely exists

[Bathyj]

18K a week > 5K a month.

[gnothe1]

what I dont get is when the comments are made, the USA isnt the only region or the only place in the world, but then you guys sit here an act as if the PS3 leading in Europe is the end of the world for the 360. I'm willing to bet that Europe doesnt sell more software than the USA!! MS needs to have a BIG showing in the USA which they will an just a decent showing everywhere else an they'll be fine!! plus GTA is bigger in the USA than it is anywhere else. an guess which console has the bigger fanbase in the USA, I'm gonna let you guys answer that!! theres plenty enough sales to go around. do the PS3 selling more than the 360 get you guys off or something.

[Voiceofreason]

Out of the top 5 games for PS2 3 of them were GTA. NOt FF, not MGS,Certainly not jack and daxter. The numbers clearly show that GTA is bigger than anything else offered on PS2 so why would it be any different today?MS made a smarter move than some of you will admit.

[ElementX]

Europe doesn't release numbers. These are BS. There's no way to compare them to authentic numbers. They could be way off. VGFartz shouldn't be used as a source.

[Bathyj]

Hey you're right.

And since GT5P is doing so well in Europe and XB hasn't released a good game in months (Sorry, I correct myself, there were a couple multiplats, I forgot because I bought them on PS3) then I'd wager that lead the PS3 is holding is probably double that.

I'm glad you spoke up.

[Whoooop]

360 just ran out of gas... It's like consumers finally understood how stupid you have to be to get the horrible thing.

PS2 still outselling it???????? lol

:)
