[TheHater]

lol...it seems that VGchartz finally have the ps3 over 10.5 millions unit worldwide. but they are a month late on that.

[ruibing]

Sooner or later the PS3 will get to a point where half a million won't matter anymore.

[Skaterboy Tell Em]

Exacly the ps3 should be at over 11 million by now vgcharts is slow.

[sonarus]

ps3 needs to pick up the pace if they expect to outsell the 360 by summer of 08. Only game i see doing that for ps3 is mgs4. Sony didnt do too good a job of spreading out the un coming games. but as can be seen sony is pulling closer to the wii. They just need to repeat the same results in JP and NA.

[baxter]

PS3 has definitely crossed 11 million mark in EUROPE.

On the other hand x360 should be around 16 million. Vgchartz never fixed their deflated x360 numbers

as for UK it is totally hilarious. There is no way x360 could beat the PS3 in UK .

Look into HMV,GAME and PLAY,AMAZON for details. x360 console is not even on the list of any top retailer in UK

****************The most controversial VG CRAP data is the MIDDLE EASTERN SALES (OTHER)

VG has an american product (x360) outselling Japanese products in OTHER (mostly middle eastern countries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

WOWWWWWW

thats a total shame .

No middle eastern (mostly muslims) dont buy US products after IRAQ invasion.

In OTHER (middle east and rest of asia (singapore,HK) ---Wii is actually the no1 selling gaming product FOLLOWED very closely by the PS3.

X360 doesnt even exist in Middle eastern countries. In Indian subcontinent too Wii is the most popular followed by the PS3

[sonarus]

well the numbers are very close and these are just estimates bottom line is they sold about the same in UK. Vgchartz arent official and yes ps3 numbers should be higher and 360 numbers should probably be be lower but its whatever. PS3 has taken the lead in the UK and it is slowly creeping up on the wii. With the heavy onslaught of exclusive games the gap for the ps3 is sure to widen. GTP is sure to give ps3 a decent boost in the UK and offcourse it is drawing close to MGS4 sales which will probably give the ps3 its biggest sales boost this yr. Hopefully the games keep piling on after mgs4 so that ps3 sales stay high and they can maintain that momentum through xmas. However i expect some games to be delayed

[baxter]

HMV UK ( UK's biggest store)

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb...

PS3 is at no 20. x360 nowhere in sight

AMAZON UK

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/...

PS3 at no 11 . where is x360

I mean you can easily see that X360 exists only in the dreams of VGCHARTZ in UK. nowhere else. It is a shame that VG inflates X360 sales every week. THe Blu Ray victory has given ps3 a huge boost in sales EVER SINCE EARLY FEBRUARY ,2008

In reality ps3 might be outselling x360 2:1 in UK

as for VG's OTHER sales That is simply unacceptable.

a US product outselling JAPANESE product in predominant islamic countries after IRAQ INVASION?????????????????????? ??????

That is a JOKE OF THE MILLENIUM

[sonarus]

@baxter i am pretty sure hmv charts only reference online sales. Same as amazon so it is still a small fraction.

[Cwalat]

But isn't it just gorgeuos to see how PS2 is outselling 360 in spain and france? HAHAHAHAHAHaHAHAHAHAHA

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

@baxter
where did you get that idea that no Muslim buys American products? Thats a bit racist don't you think stereotyping people, because of one event. Definitely disagree.

[Zolin]

lol good Question!!

[Da360sucks]

ps3 rulesssssssssssssssssss

[MailMan]

They've LOST Europe,they've LOST Japan,and they JUST lost North America in January.Known as the BABIES of the videogame industry,these MILKABLE gamers also ADOPTED the NON-EXISTENT HD DVD format,along with the HORRENDOUS operating system known as Windows Vista.

Bonus Hint:These same DIMWITS have a STRONG desire for the Playstation 3 EXCLUSIVE Metal gear Solid 4.

For your chance to WIN a MASTERPIECE created by SONY Corp,fill in the 2 empty blanks with the CORRECT letters to spell out the NAME of the GULLIBLE,LAUGHABLE,and embarrassingly PATHETIC gamers:

X_O_S

Jump OUT and Play B3YOND

[cmrbe]

your are just cruel man. Class act.

[The Killer]

and i know arabs wont buy american product especially now that israel killing the palastinians in gaza with the support of USA and the war in iraq and interfering with the lebanese presidential thing.

but i think if arabs buy 360 it will be for some reasons!
1) they buy the arcade model cuz they dont need hard drive cuz the internet sucks in arab countries.
2) the arcade model is cheap
3)360 is pirated, i know that almost no body buys original games, and ps3 is still protected till now.

[cmrbe]

Same story PS3 beats MS. Wii owns all.

[InYourMom]

Funny not even 2 posts ago people were screaming how VGChartz is totally screwed up and now here we are praising them again because it shows PS3 over 360.

Too funny..

[cmrbe]

indication.If anything. Vg numerous times inflate x360 numbers.

[Willio]

Its also funny how half a year ago, critics claimed ps3 to be a flop.

[cyclindk]

By the end of this year, the Wii will fall way behind...

[killer_trap]

thats what i used to think. Nintendo won't let it happen though, they are a much smarter company than we give it credit for. and if demand does decrease i think a price drop will put it right back up.

[Shadow Man]

Microsoft better introduce a price drop when GTA4 is release. So they can KO SONY from their spot.

[ruibing]

Even if that does happen, which seems completely contradictory to their claims of low inventory, Sony will jump right back even higher with MGS4.

[sonarus]

been saying that for a while. You only reduce the price when supply is high in order to increase demand. If supply is low and you increase demand they only create a situation where those who want to play GTA4 who initially had their eyes on xbox look left and find a perfectly good ps3 waiting. Equipped fully with blu ray and a peace of mind of knowing your console wnt rrod

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

There are no shortages in Europe. Only in the United States supposivly.

[JBaby343]

The rest of Europe not so much. I'm glad the PS3 continues to post good numbers. That many more people to play against on PSN.

Kudos to the 360 for beating out the PSP and PS2 this week.

[baxter]

It is only VGCRAP that inflates x360 sales to make it look good against the PSP/PS2.

ask any european on board whether he /she is even aware of a console named x360. You wont find any except a few British. However lot of x360s in UK have already been traded in for PS3s.

anecdotal sales evidence -- in the UK top charts there are 9 ps3 games vs 8 x360 games ( x360 had 4 new releases vs 1 for PS3)

last week ps3 had 8 games vs 6 for x360

X360 exists in ONLY VGCRAP CHARTS

[Bull]

o no xbots are going to claim that the Spanish hates Americans, just like the Japanese. Get real, the only thing they hate is junk hardware.

[Shadow Man]

Yo compre el xbox 360 y estoy bien feliz conlos juegos disponibles en my sistema. Pero tienes rason con el "RROD" problema mas bale que microsoft en cuentre un fin a eso.

[SUP3R]

Congrats on being satisfied with your console, but you are ever so wrong about RROD being fixed. Lowering it from 33% to 16%, as they've claimed, is still WAY too high to be considered a reliable console.

[Bathyj]

Plus 16% was for ONE warranty center, people are acting like RROD has dropped to 16% across the board. No way jose'.

[Bathyj]

Oooo Xbox just slipped ahead in the UK again. But dont get used to it, we're not talking thousands, or even hundreds, we're talkings tens.

I feel like we've all been watching cracks appear in the dam. The slow trickles are spreading and getting more pressure. Soon the dam will break and those without a reliable machine to hold onto will drown.

[1-800-SaveAnXbot]

In case

[Lumbo]

Imho the new VGchartz design is more newsworthy than the same numbers as last week .. roughly :p

[ElementX]

How do they justify the European numbers? They're not officially released.

[Bathyj]

WAH WAH WAH WAH

[InYourMom]

it shows the PS3 on top of the 360 so that is all that matters.

Ask this question again when the 360 is beating the PS3 and then you will get some answer's.

[PirateThom]

As a PlayStation 3 user, I can't justify European numbers at all.

There's random reports from countries, nowhere near enough to guess, but considering Chart Track (UK) said the PS3 has been outselling the 360 by a margin since just after Christmas and the fact none of these countries released numbers this month... VGCharts are guessing.

It's the same with weekly numbers for America, there is no weekly US numbers, there's only NPD. VGCharts are guessing and this was shown when they were guessing the 360 was outselling the PS3 in January and then it turned out to be the other way round when official NPD data came out.

[1-800-4MY-XBOX]

1-800-4MY-XBOX for all your coffin needs.

[wiizy]

only a clown would say that.. wii is on top to stay cause its the best system... nintendo just need to ship more systems to europe.. the only way ps3 and xbox 360 sale is with bundles and price drops.

[darkshiz]

Nintendo was been bundling since the beginning.
Wii sports anyone?

[PStriple703]

go sony! i'm loving my ps3 more and more everyday

[PStriple703]

at least vgchartz is not as bad as nexgenwarz
http://nexgenwars.com/
lol@the ps3 still at 8

[baxter]

But VGCHARTZ is also crap. there is no way x360 outsells ps3 in UK

Did you even look at its OTHER (middle eastern) sales.

x360 beats PS3 in Middle Eastern countries????

Woow that means Middle easterns are buying American products after Iraq invasion. What a lie VGCRAP. even a 5 year OLDER wont believe that

[Snukadaman]

You would of found them by now nasim.....right?

[Big Jim]

I've read hundreds of posts on N4G by people claiming that the PS3 is much more popular than the 360 in the UK, and that it is only the "idiot Americans" who like the 360 and are making it sell, and yet the 360 is outselling the PS3 in the UK. So whats the deal? Sure the 360 is getting crushed in France and Spain, but those countries are too small to matter much. California alone probably buys more consoles than France and Spain combined. So whats the deal with the UK?

[PirateThom]

VGChartz data is a lot of crap that's what.

The official UK Tracker said PS3 has been consistantly out selling the 360 since after Christmas by a wide margin.

VGChartz guess these numbers and get raped when official data is released and they're not even close.

[Adriokor]

a) American
b) Ignorant

First check the populations in those countries, as coming from a European background I find your ignorant post annoying as hell.

I bet you wouldn't even be able to point those countries out on a map for me.

BTW VG is simply guesswork, can we stop posting those articles :)

[Intrepid]

You're right about Big Jim being ignorant, but please don't generalize Americans as being ignorant. Stereotypes suck.

On topic: I can't believe the numbers that the DS is putting out. The number of units that it continues to sell are staggering.

[Big Jim]

I have to apologize. I intentionally insulted France and Spain to amuse myself and to provoke an angry response (which would amuse me even more). But my post was childish and stupid and I shouldn't have put such a post under the picture of my avatar. Picard would never say such a thing. But even though I am childish and stupid I'm not "ignorant", I know the locations and the approximate populations of both Spain and France. (Although a country with a lot of people won't necessarily buy a lot of consoles. China has well over a billion people, but how many consoles do they buy?) Anyway, I didn't mean to offend your delicate sensibilities. Also, I'm moderately drunk. Peace out.

[Harry190]

be the biggest fool on earth.please,
grab a map and check your geography
lessons.in terms of demographics,
france and spain far outweight the uk.
not to forget that most sales in the uk
take place in england.france has several million sellers every year and is bigger than england.damn it,and you still have the cojones
to post such stupid nonsense.

[vloeistof]

go sony

[power of Green]

Wonder why 360 is gaining and PS3 is falling?.

[ikiru3385]

ps3 is falling where? it continues to sell well in europe and NA. not so well right now in Japan since there are consumers there still waiting for the Yakuza 3 bundle.

i don't see where the 360 is gaining either.

[The gaming GOD]

Come on Pog, now you're just talking nonsense

Because last I saw, the ps3 has been getting the upper hand on the 360 for weeks. Just look at the NPD, Mediacreate, and GFK stats for that fact.

[Kaz Hirai]

Ah, POG (or should I say PIG) I can smell your desperation!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[1-800-4MY-XBOX]

1-800-4MY-XBOX for all your coffin needs.

[Keowrath]

LOL and Power of Greens ignore list grows even bigger!

Can you imagine N4G where every comment is censored apart from Jason360, Firstknight, TheMART, Icewake, Genuine, Getpwned and InyourMom... Welcome to Power of Greens world.

[texism]

You guys didn't even bother to compare last week's numbers with this week's numbers. Believe it or not, Power Of Green is actually right for once. PS3 numbers are falling and 360 numbers are rising. Look at the numbers out of the brackets and compare them with numbers in the brackets. PS3 has fallen in all the regions posted while 360 has risen in all the regions posted. Well, assuming these numbers are accurate after all.

[The gaming GOD]

You're judging by vgchartz and have the nerve to call other people stupid. Everyone knows to take vgchartz with a grain of salt. Especially after they claimed ps3 lost in janurary when it was COMPLETELY vice versa.

What a f a g-o-tron you are :)

[aggh im on fire]

Sounds about right. I live in the Uk and the 360 is still oustselling the Ps3...just. The Ps3 is closing the gap though.

These figures are made up though as there are no official figures only estimates.

[tk]

At one time they were shouting about how they were leading... now when they have a small increase they are "gaining"... spoken like a true follower in the race hoping to not fall behind too far...

[DarkSniper]

Europe has always had a taste for the finer things in life. These statistics prove Dark Sniper's statements 100% correct.

XBOX 360 has garnered a very critical and humiliating record that should go down in the Guinness Book of World Records. Going from first to worst in less than two years. Not to mention, PLAYSTATION® 3 outsold XBOX 360 in Europe this past year without January and Feburary. PLAYSTATION® 3 accomplished in 10 months what XBOX could not do in a full year.

This is a time for all Sony Snipers to rejoice as we have taken the gaming industry by storm. Playstation has and always will be a household name that is synonamous with quality next-generation visuals, features and gameplay.

R.I.P XBOX
2005-2008

$niper

[Obama]

People, it's time for a change. We shall unite and cleanse the junkbox 360 from the rest of the world. Yes We Can! Yes We Can!

[texism]

Nobody noticed this, but PS3 numbers are falling. 360 numbers are rising. Compare last week's numbers (in braces) vs current numbers. Now this doesn't mean anything , but it sure is interesting to note.

Also, I am just stating a FACT. Look at the numbers yourself and compare. If you disagree, then you are just hopeless, moronic, ass-kissing fanboy.

[Aaron_V667]

Vgchartz is a load of bollocks and the sooner people realize that the better. Remember last months npd and how badly the got that wrong. And also the UK numbers are BS as Charttrack the official chart for the UK has said the ps3 has been outselling 360 since Christmas. Also the so called others numbers are a joke. They are supposed to be Asia and yet 360 sells twice as much as ps3 here. So they guy who runs this site has contacts in places like China, India, Iran and Korea telling him sales figures does he? Dont make me laugh those others numbers are only there to put a few more on the 360 pile. The guy who runs the site pulls the numbers out of his arse and the sooner everybody stops giving him time and space the better.

[Aaron_V667]

Power of Green never fails to make me laugh, the pathetic little fool.

[texism]

Actually, he is kind of right. PS3 numbers going down, 360 numbers going up. Compare the weekly numbers.

[cputeq]

Linking VGChartz numbers and claiming any sort of credibility is like claiming Hyundai makes the best car in the world because the local dealer told you so.

Un.
