Xbox 360 currently has a combined lead over PlayStation 3 of around one million sales across five key European territories - the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
That's according to GfK Chart-Track data seen by Eurogamer that shows like-for-like sales of console hardware across October and November.

1 - One question
IF the XBox 360 does have a 1 million console lead in Europe than why has it not placed a single title in the top 10 sales this week in the UK, France, Italy and Spain? Me thinks there may be some pencil whipping going on on MS part to stir up FUD and make itself look better than it really is.
LOL. Disagreeing with regional sales charts? Now that there is funny especially if the inverse were true. I am merely asking the question and backing it up with the reported sales statistics based on the regions that reported.

So now you are saying GFK is currupt and claimed of VGchartz because it says what you don't want to see. LBP is suddenly doing better. Has sony been greasing palms? NO!
Maybe the 360 got big the sales the previous weeks. I know I have COD5, Gear 2 (horde) + Fable 2 , Midnight club and Mirrors edge (got the last 3 for £18 each hence bought but not even touched them yet.
Not forgetting R2

I am not saying that GFK is corrupt. I am speculating that the 1 million units don't add up especially with the software sales seen throughout Europe over the past 4 weeks. In general over the course of the past 4 weeks the PS3 has been seeing much better overall software sales than the XBox 360. One would think that if a unit has 1 million more installed that the numbers would show otherwise.

1.10 - God the sony fanboys such as darkseider and morganfell are really pissed at this news aren't they
this confirms what all non-fanboys knew - that the 360 has been doing really well in Europe since the pricecut. Thats not to say anything against the ps3 which is a great system but the xbox has turned itself around in Europe. Where are all the people that were complaining about vgchartz saying the exact same thing earlier? Well done MS. And for the fanboys going on about attatch rates - if you actually look at the charts you'll a healthy number of xbox and ps titles in european charts with the xbox doing better in the UK than everywhere else. But I suppose the MS hate train led by morganfell will always lies to spread.
Go sony, microsoft and nintendo!
EDIT: @slimdaddy - it doesn't matter whether you believe MS and sony report shipped or sold or whatever these figures are from an independent chart tracker analysing sales to consumers. Its a neutral view away from the natural bias of sony and microsoft.
@above - well the 360 is gaining now seeing as its outselling the ps3 recently. The ps3 originally gained on the xbox since its launch and now the 360 is coming back. Market competition is great for the games industry.

All three report consoles sold to retailers and distributors only as far as financial statements go. They only report units sold to consumers to show brand recognition, and most of the time that's only at major industry press events like CES, GDS, TGS, or E3.
Every company... EVERY COMPANY selling a console reports units sold to retailers and distributors; not to consumers.

I know rucky, it's too hilarious. Just what we have been saying all long. Over a year headstart and all they have to show is a decreasing lead.
All of these 360 supporters are screaming that the article is correct. Okay, let's run with that. Look at what the article says in black and white:
"THE INSTALLED BASE TOTALS SUGGEST THAT SONY IS CATCHING UP ON MICROSOFT, WHICH LAUNCHED XBOX 360 OVER A YEAR EARLIER THAN PS3"
Which is exactly what we have been saying. The PS3 has been outselling the 360 in Europe. That is how gains are made. The 360 received a bump from their price drop. And as we have seen in the past THAT BUMP NEVER LASTS.
For 2 years 360 fans say their console has been outselling the PS3 and now they say this article is correct. An article that says the PS3 has been gaining like a predator closing the gap. Well which is it? You can't have it both ways.
The article says the 360 will stay ahead into the new year. Well that's 2 weeks. It won't last past the end of January as Europe spins up for Killzone 2. That one game will crush that bump and Sony will continue it's move past Microsoft.
MS really has no response ready for February and they will wind up as nothing more than a bug on a very big Sony windshield. Like death I am patient as I know it's all just a matter of time. With the PS3 easily showing better software sales and Sony trucks with big windshields rolling down the calendar road it's only a matter of time.

1.17 - Morganfell you really have no idea what you are talking about
'For 2 years 360 fans say their console has been outselling the PS3 and now they say this article is correct. An article that says the PS3 has been gaining like a predator closing the gap. Well which is it? You can't have it both ways.'
I have not once heard this on N4G, in fact all I heard is rabid sony fanboys claiming the 360 is dead in Europe. Most reasonable people on this site knew that both consoles were fine. Now this article comes along which proves them wrong and you act like you knew all along. But now you are claiming that xbox software sales are appaling which is another lie. When charts come along to prove you worng about that will your argument be - ' oh well I knew all along but the ps3 is gaining stupid xbots.' I really wouldn't be surprised if it was.
'The article says the 360 will stay ahead into the new year. Well that's 2 weeks. It won't last past the end of January as Europe spins up for Killzone 2. That one game will crush that bump and Sony will continue it's move past Microsoft.'
Right. Killzone will be an amazing game but to hell will it bring down the 360. I'm not even going to go into how many times I've heard this with x game. The only thing that will help the ps3 overtake the 360 is a ps3 pricecut as currently the 360 is more valuable at its pricepoint than the ps3 is at its own pricepoint and consumers are responding to this. As for when the pricecut will be well this article explains alot.
http://www.washingtonpost.c...
TOKYO -- The dollar plunged to a 13-year low against the yen Friday, following the collapse of a $14 billion government bailout for U.S. automakers.
The dollar sank to 88.16 yen in afternoon trading in Tokyo, its lowest level since Aug. 2, 1995, when the U.S. currency was at 88.02 yen.
The greenback later recovered to 89.72 yen, but remained well under the 91.43 yen mark from late Thursday.
A senior financial ministry official described foreign exchange fluctuations as "too volatile," according to Kyodo news agency.
The rescue package sought by Detroit's ailing automakers was earlier approved by the House of Representatives but unraveled in the Senate. Bipartisan talks broke down over Republican demands that the unions agree to steep wage cuts by 2009 to bring their pay into line with Japanese carmakers.
The news also extended losses in Japanese stocks. The benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average shed 5.6 percent to 8,235.87.
A strong yen is the last thing Japanese exporters need.
Major manufacturers including Toyota Motor Corp. and Sony Corp. are already reeling from slumping global demand. Yen appreciation erodes overseas profits when repatriated to Japan and makes products more expensive abroad.
Now how bad is it for Sony?? Answer - BAD!
Look at the history of the Yen. When the PS3 was launched in the U.S. the Yen compared to the Dollar was in the ¥117-¥118 range, today its at ¥89!! Representing a whopping 25% drop!!
Sony is making 25% less money on every PS3 sold in the states since launch, that doesn't even include the official price drops.
PS3 - 40% Price Cut Since Launch
Now what happens if we take into account the official price cuts?
Nov 2006 - Sony made ¥58,882 from every 20 gig PS3 sold ($499)
Dec 2008 - Sony makes ¥35,511 from every 80 gig PS3 sold ( $399)
That's a 40% price cut since launch! Do we really expect Sony do cut another $50 off the console? That would amount to a 49% price cut from launch!
How much further can Sony go? Can the U.S. dollar rise back up against the Yen and how long will it take? No one really knows.. but the Yen is at a 13 year low and this will lay heavily on Sony's decisions to cut the PS3's price in the US for 2009.
This is the problem that sony has but once it is rectified we will see a ps3 pricecut and an awesome comeback for sony.
So Morganfell stop lying and just admit for once that MS did well against sony in this instance. And also stop with these lies about software sales - or lets see some evidence to back it up because I see xbox software doing absolutely fine in Europe.
And please have an open mind that MS may actaully have something planned for next year that hasn't been announced. Fanboys like you are unbearable.

I just want to say something (may have already been said?):
The 360 has been out nearly 16 months longer in Europe. A 1 million lead ain't much to be proud of. 360 is way way WAY cheaper, too. So, yeah, I'm rather underwhelmed by this lead they've got.

And yet, Mintroyal, after all that, you've not said anything against Morgan's main point---the full 1 year head start is being reduced to nothing.
Sony is not some small company that will collapse and close shop because of the current financial market. Give me a break.
With revenue coming in from electronics, film, music, etc...and the still hot-selling PS2, they will survive what you describe.
Good post though.

"One question IF the XBox 360 does have a 1 million console lead in Europe than why has it not placed a single title in the top 10 sales this week in the UK, France, Italy and Spain?"
Please tell me that you are just being facetious. Well just in case you are not.....giving how many consoles the Wii have sold why does it not have all 10 sale spots on lock? Hmmm.......could it be that in order to have a game in the top 10 spot.....the masses have to buy it. So, is it not possible to a bigger hardware fan base, but have less of those users purchase the software? Here, let me give you an example: Lets say Microsoft has 2 million 360 users, but only 100,000 purchase a game.........but Sony has 1 million ps3 users and 500,000 purchase a game.........so of course the ps3 game makes it to the chart...even with having the smaller user base. That my friend, is how you use common to put out a fire....especially if your intent was to start a flame.

Microsoft has done well against Sony in one month. They don't deserve a pat on the back for that. For the entire time since the PS3 launch Sony has beating beating Microsoft's backside in Europe making these gains.
WHERE IS YOUR PAT ON THE BACK FOR SONY? All I have to do is look at your posts to see where you stand.
It's a laugh that people like you can't figure out why Sony doesn't cut the price of the PS3. They don't need to. Everyone keeps looking at US Sales. I live here and have enough of an expanded mind to know the US isn't the world.
When you combine US Sales and Japan sales the PS3 moves ahead of the 360. By 30,000 consoles.
Now combine the European sales. Despite the bump MS has received, at the end of the year Sony will still have outsold MS worldwide. Outselling means they continue to gain. It is that simple and is the reason Sony hasn't cut the price of the PS3. Everyone keeps throwing their head around. Everyone except PS3 owners because they know. Sony hasn't cut the cost because they do not need to.
And say what you want, Killzone 2 will be the impetus that crushes the bump because bumps do not last. They settle back to normal and the PS3 will go back to making it's gains passing the 360 in total European sales before next June. Goodbye MS, enjoy your new home in last place.

1.23 - Morganfell I do give sony a pat on the back
and in case you missed it here *ONE BIG PAT ON THE BACK FOR SONY*.
However where is your pat on the back for microsoft - as you've pointed out the ps3 has been consistently outselling the 360 in Europe until the 360 cut its price and caught up the lead and passed MS. But now MS has turned the tables and gained some ground back - quite an impressive feat considering this was supposed to be sonyland. But instead you try and play any MS success down, saying its only been for a month and will be over soon blah blah blah.
Then you have the audacity to say I never give sony credit when I've stated in almost every post i've made that the ps3 is doing well and I like sony whilst all you post is hate for Microsoft. If I ever post anything against sony it is constrctive criticism like the post I made about exchange rates just before. Where is your unbiased viewpoint? It doesn't exist.
@twelve - I have said that sony has done well to catch up the lead from microsoft there can be no denying that all i've argued is that the majority of this site has been claiming microsoft's death in Europe and now an article comes along which proves their ahead and all the fanboys pretend like they knew and downplay it as not much of an achievement. Hypocryte much?
Sony did well to catch up and microsoft did well to retake the lead and create their own momentum.
EDIT @morganfell
yes it can be argued that sony do not need to drop the price - well if fact if they want the ps3 to be profitable next year it will be hard for them to do so. However since microsoft price cut in Europe they have been making huge gains and especially where I live in Europe. MS won't be in 3rd place next year there is no chance of it. The lead after christmas will be around 8 million. I think it will take sony at least until christmas 2010 to overtake the 360 (which I think it will eventually do). However the longer the ps3 doesn't have a price cut the further it falls behind - that is why it needs a cut because it is still nowhere near mass market price. Thats the problem MS had before this year as they refused to cut the price and part of teh reason why the wii is so successful - because it started off at a mass market price - impulse buyers could actually afford one unlike the competition.

The 360 does have the highest software attach rate Morgan...
By March 2008, the Xbox 360 had reached a software attach rate of 7.5 games per console in the US – a record for any console in history; the rate was 7.0 in Europe, while its competitors were 3.8 (PS3) and 3.5 (Wii), according to Microsoft. That was in march.
Right now the console has a software attach rate of 8.1. Google it if you don't believe me but next time don't talk without thinking first.

Do you guys have absolutely no live, all you do is search the net to justify you consoles by quoting sales figures and the number of exclusive games. You guys are pathetic and are turning N4G into the opposite of what it was meant to be.

Yes, its great for M$ if gamer bought the system again. M$ is making money, but developers will not see any increasing sell of their games. For developer is still the same player, M$ counts as new player. But they are not.

If I made a mistake or my figures were off, please...by all means correct me. Or at least try to present a counter argument. If you have no arguments, perhaps you should leave it to people that do.
Quite frankly I don't know what my love of my 360 has to do with anything. That's not what we're talking about here.

4.1 - You're not the only one.
The BBC, Fortune, New York Post, New York Times and Forbes all find vgchartz reliable enough to use as a source for their industry stories.
Edit: Disagrees? Are you saying these publications don't use vgchartz, or just that you don't agree that these well respected sources should use vgchartz? You could write them a letter with your sources. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you and hear why you question their sources. All 5 of them probably never bother to check their sources anyway. :)

i still cant believe the wii sold 2 million in 1 month.
that just makes any lead by xbox360 over ps3 that much more irrelevant. at any given time xbox360 and ps3 can jump a million here or a million there.

considering the 360 had a 1 year head start and is waaaaaaay cheaper than the PS3(cheaper than in the US), those numbers are actually embarrassing for MS.

3.2 - What ? Again !
Wasn't Resistance 2 supposed to the best shooter ever ? And what about little big planet: a game that was going to put the PS3 in front for good. Oh no,wait, I think that was Metal Gear Solid ! Before making comments like that just wait 'till it actually comes out. So far, the flagship title haven't done that good.

Really. So much for a 1 year head start. Looks like it's the tortoise and the hare. MS is running around all over the place and has absolutely no identity. Hare today, gone tomorrow as Bugs would say.
Meanwhile the PS3 just keeps steadily chugging along.

I thought the 360 was always leading the PS3 in Europe, if only by a little because of it's one year head start. The PS3 is catching up and outselling the 360 because the 360 is never in the top sale charts in Europe... WTH is this article supposed to prove?

Ah nice logic you got going there guys. So its ok to say that all people from Iraq and Afganistan are terrorists but once someone states fact against a country that has done nothing but provoke THEN you get all defensive. Once again congratz on your brainpower being that of a six year old child.

9.7 - Just my opinion
All forms of terrorism are bad, it is happening all over the world, but don't forget that the US is not the only country to be targeted, the UK was hit hundreds of times by the IRA and in more recent times by extremists, i have nothing but sympathy for all thoses affected by terrorism, but while you're on a videogame forum try not to make it too serious and stick to the facts. 100% of this argument was caused by Chrissy, so grow up.

Hmmm...
According to this the 360 has shifted ~ 7m units in Europe.
According to NPD the 360 is at 12.1m units in NA
Official LTD sales in Japan are set to around 800k.
That comes to around 20million units only. Where are the other 5m units then?

13.1 - From your dodgy calculations.
If the 360 is at 7 million in Europe and 1 million ahead according to these official figures then the ps3 is at 6 million in europe.
Its at 6 million in America according to NPD
Its at 2 million in Japan according to official figures.
That puts the ps3 at 14 million - where are the other 4 million units?
See we can all make up calculations like this :)
