Europe is huge for Sony, so they should have been giving it priority I think.

Also, I'll say it again, only 5 million 360's in Europe? I doubt it, that would mean the US and Japan have about 17 million between them and I seriously doubt Japan has had many sell.

Most are in America like 10 mil of them, Japan has only bought about 600,000 of them...

and on that note, the 360 is trouncing all over the PS3 in the USA.. as only 3 mil PS3's have sold over here... Americans are a finicky bunch though.. They still buy VHS... Honest !!

You are, but not for buying a PS3

Well... unless your reasoning was that "It's playstation, it must be best" before you tried it.

So you admit Xbox 360 has about 10.5 million in Europe then?

So the PS3 has not taken over the 360 in Europe. (double the amount of PS3's)

I bought a PS3 as i wanted to play GT5 and MGS as a lot of other people will have I'd imagine.

NO ?

It has over taken the 360 in Europe...

But in the USA the 360 has sold three times as many as the ps3.

Want me to draw you a picture? :rolleyes:

the figures must have an element of truth, also where does it say how much 360's have been sold in europe .... uk is the only place that sells any decent amount of 360's.

Again this has been waiting to happen.

I think I'm going to vomit through my eyes.

Once. Just once, I'd like to see a thread that doesn't disintegrate into this anger/flame filled console war mess.

You just said the 360 has about 10 million in the USA and about 600,000 in Japan.

According to the stats about 18 million odd 360's are out there. (Got early figures mixed up with the Wii.

)

So where did the other 7.5 million go? Uranus?

What exactly do you expect? Any thread about sales is going to do this because its the only purpose of the thread. if I started a thread that said PS3 rocks, 360 sucks then I'd expect it to descend into a fanboy argument as well.

Margaret · 6 May 2008 at 22:05

See this is what I don't get;

So lets say that's 10 million for Japan and the USA, where did the other 9 million go? :eek:

Strife212 · 6 May 2008 at 22:08

Hes talking about all of Europe remember. In the UK the 360 may be more popular, but in mainland Europe PS3 is crushing the 360.

The thread didn't say PS3 rocks or 360 sucks. You guys just made it into that. But my main point is that it's annoying how everyone gets so bitter about it all.

The dates don't match up there, the total figure is from April and the American one is from 1st January which will account for some of the difference atleast.

But as I said, if Microsoft believe they have sold more we'll soon hear about directly from them.

So what exactly is the purpose in this thread then? Look at the thread title for christ's sake, theres no possible discussion to be found in it. It was just for baiting the fanboys.

Yeah true, though won't be too big a difference but some, gotta be at least 9 million knocking around in Europe though.

I'm sure we will.

So what you're saying is that people should take any opportunity to begin a flaming console war? The thread could have been alright - it started ok with people saying they can't believe the news because most of their mates have 360s - That was a rational discussion. But it then descended into a hating thread.
