[MaximusPrime]

interesting list. seems PS3 has found a permanent home, UK.

[Perjoss]

v interesting, 2 PC games in the top 10

edit: been spending alot more time on my pc lately than my consoles, with games like spore, warhammer, witcher and crysis warhead all released recently, and with Farcry 2 & Fallout 3 out soon I think that pc gaming is far from dead, I just wish they could find a civilized way to combat the piracy.

[lelo]

Wii and DS command sales... but still nº1 spot for X360 game... not bad.

Good sales for PC games :)

[Thugbot187]

@MaximusPrime - We can tell your a complete fanboy. It's more like Wii has found a home in the UK and continues to dominate the charts, while the PS3 and 360 are neck and neck. I guess you don't see how most of the games that are show are on both systems and the 360 seems to have higher ranking. Wow

[MaximusPrime]

6 is better than 5

[OgTheClever]

and 12 is better than 5+6 ;)

[Lucreto]

Holy Jebus

New Super Mario Bros is still in the charts.

[meepmoopmeep]

yeah, but i'm waiting for the PS3 version because i heard blu-ray and the Cell will make the port superior
can't wait!

[Gam71]

but if it's not its down to lazy programmers.

[Omega4]

Since the 360 is nearly as dominate in the UK as it is in the US its no surprise it has more higher ranking titles

Also with the recent pricecuts things will only get better

[heyheyhey]

PS3- 6
360- 5

dominate what now?

is it me, or have you never made a well-informed comment like... EVER?!

[Omega4]

i said "higher ranking titles"

Since you dont understand what i mean i shall explain:

11 (02) [360] Mercenaries 2: World In Flames (Electronic Arts)
18 (09) [PS3] Mercenaries 2: World In Flames (Electronic Arts)

01 (__) [360] Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Lucasarts)
02 (__) [PS3] Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Lucasarts)

21 (21) [360] TNA Impact! (Midway)
29 (28) [PS3] TNA Impact! (Midway)

25 (16) [360] Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 (Electronic Arts)
27 (18) [PS3] Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 (Electronic Arts)

You see the 360 versions are selling better meaning its dominating

[cahill]

PS3 and Wii are over x360 in UK
However UK is the only european region where x360 is selling

In other parts of europe x360 sales have plummetted to nothing. see weekly SW charts of other regions to get an idea

Games on x360 are higher cuz PS3 hasnt overtaken x360 in UK in terms of HW base. Apparently UK is the only region in europe where ps3 hasnt overtaken x360 in HW LTD base

But that will happen soon too

[PirateThom]

Let's ignore the fact there's a bigger install base for the 360 in the UK and the PS3 has MORE titles in the top 40.

[The gaming GOD]

Ok Omega going by your theory, where is the 360 version of GTA 4 on that list?

Also, I noticed you don't comment in the other countries versions of these charts (French, German, etc.) Is that because the ps3 overshadows the 360 on those charts? Just curious

[heyheyhey]

i know what you meant so save the copy and paste skills

you also said that the 360 is dominating in UK when the charts show that is clearly not the case

that is the point i was making, PS3 also has higher ranking of new releases such as Tiger Woods 09

360 might be winning in the UK for now, but its no domination

[shadowghost752]

You are aware that there are more PS3s than 360s in the UK?

and that the PS3 reached 1 million consoles sold, faster than the 360 aswell?

[The gaming GOD]

I won't agree OR disagree with you. But I will ask for proof of that.

Charttrack had reported that the 360 has just under a million units lead on the ps3 in the UK

I know there are more ps3 sold than 360 in Europe as a whole. But in the UK the 360 still has quite the sizable lead on the ps3

[juuken]

...What are you talking about?

[lelo]

It's natural... X360 has more sales then the PS3 in UK, so it's sells more software.

[Thugbot187]

@heyheyhey - wow another fanboy trying to spin the news, for the PS3.

[heyheyhey]

lol at the fools buying Star Wars

this game has !RENTAL! plastered all over it- fun game, spending £40 on it is retarded

[360 man]

heyheyhey u from the uk ?

[PirateThom]

Better spending £40 on TFU than Carnival Games and Big Beach Sports.

[heyheyhey]

@360 man

yeah....

[ICUP]

Rented the game, the game is good but both ending suck yellow ballz.

@heyheyhey

LOL BURN!!!!!!!!

[JBaby343]

But someone is not a fool just for liking it. I've beat it three times now and am still having a blast with it. You can keep coming up with different ways to kill people and if you just let it play it's a lot of fun. Not a perfect game but still great fun.

[360 man]

UK ftw

[TANOD]

COD4 PS3 AND GTA4 PS3 ARE STILL ON THE LIST?

[TANOD]

Haha LOL AT IDIOTS BUYING IT

[PirateThom]

Also, Too Human is £20 this week in Game.

[jerethdagryphon]

thats about valid
the ps3 gamers ive seen wait a while to buy after reading reviews

and yea too human 19.99
thats what id pay if i had a 360 and actually wanted that tripe

[lnfinite]

"19 (32) [360] Too Human (Microsoft) "

hahaha

[enjoi187]

sales rank....ps3 has 4 games below the 360 last game of 5..on the list

[enjoi187]

lol at too human yeah....not much of a flop is it considering its above all of these and its been out for a while and...supposedly "flopped"...plus your MGS4 "the best" isnt even on the list :(

27 (18) [PS3] Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 (Electronic Arts)
29 (28) [PS3] TNA Impact! (Midway)
38 (__) [PS3] Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision Blizzard)
40 (37) [PS3] Grand Theft Auto IV (Take 2)

[heyheyhey]

did Too Human ever top these charts like MGS4 did?

did MGS4 drop to £20 after a week of release like Too Human did?

has Too Human sold over 4mil worldwide so far like MGS4 had done?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO!!!!!!

[Aclay]

The U.K. is still a majority 360 territory, but it's been very interesting seeing the PS3 outsell the 360 in Europe even when the 360's price was cut earlier this year over there and made it cheaper than the Wii.

From what I've been noticing, the gap between 360 and PS3 game sales are relatively small in Europe and there's some instances where the PS3 version in Europe sells more than the 360 version. The gap between the PS3 version and 360 version of a game in the U.S. has gotten smaller, but the 360 version sells more.

I'm pretty sure that the price cuts will help the 360 in Europe, but whenever the 360 was already cheaper than the Wii since this March or April and the PS3 was outselling it even then, it makes me think that yet another price cut will have a short term impact of higher than average 360 sales or a very minimal impact.

[bbelly9320_]

that isn't going to change

[heyheyhey]

Amen..

[Fatmanp]

There are not more PS3s in the UK than 360s as there are over 2million in the UK alone.

[CNIVEK]

Too Human is hanging in at #19, while MGS4...is MIA. Hell, COD4 is still in the top 40, and it came out nearly a YEAR AGO. :D

[The gaming GOD]

Why don't you compare all of Europe's sales of Too Human and MGS4. In fact, why don't we compare the worldwide sells. Too Human came out last month I think. MGS4 sales killed Too Human's sale numbers in the same time frame

[beoulve]

Wii = 12
NDS = 11
PS3 =6
X360 = 5
PC = 4
PS2 = 2

I seen people talk about Sony and Microsoft dominate. What about the company that have 12 games in the rank?

[PirateThom]

Nintendo.

Wii Fit
Wii Play
Big Beach Sports
Carnival Games
Sports Party
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games

I'm not sure what Nintendo are leading, but it's not gaming.

[ICUP]

We talking about NEXT-GEN consoles not the gamecube with a dildo.

[badz149]

muahahaha....that was hillarious! never thought about that and that is a good laugh for me this morning ! thanx dude, have a bubble!

[radecswe]

[Product]
