Mrbob said:Why are you being so salty? We hardly get factual European numbers, so some data is nice to finally see. Look beyond the hardware too. PS3 is also ahead of the 360 in the top 20 software chart.
How is that in any way surprising?Kenak said:Wow, I can't believe the PS3 is ahead of the 360.
BladeoftheImmortal said:Sony must be dancing at headquarters, haha.
Agreed. Also weird is how high FIFA 11 is on 360, with no PS3 version.pharmboy044 said:I'm completely surprised that the 360 version of Blops isn't on the European top 20.
Truespeed said:The Japanese PS3 sales basically cover the monthly 360->PS3 NPD difference. Europe is where it will be decided.
Iwata gave a shout out to Dance CentralThis chart shows the 20 best-selling software titles in the U.S. from January through September of 2011. Seven titles from Nintendo platforms are included, but unlike in the previous years, three Wii titles, which are ranked high in the chart, were not released by Nintendo but from other software publishers. As I talked in the Financial Results Briefing in April, dancing titles are surging ahead, and the top three titles for Wii are dancing games. Other than these three titles, Dance Central for Xbox 360s Kinect is also included in the chart, which means that four out of the 20 top-selling titles are dancing games.

Microsoft pretty much gave up on making console have unique content compared to the competition while sony has done the opposite

Kusagari said:The unique content isn't why the PS3 is selling more. The only PS3 exclusives on the EU list are all at the bottom below Gears 3.
you are assuming those games sales and hardware sales are exclusively relatedKusagari said:The unique content isn't why the PS3 is selling more. The only PS3 exclusives on the EU list are all at the bottom below Gears 3.

OldJadedGamer said:I think it has a lot to do with XBL. Most of the coolest features are only available in the US and also, XBL is built around voice chat where in Europe of course a lot of people know English but many don't feel comfortable speaking it in an online setting and would rather use their own native language.
While I use the 360 as the main system and I'm in the US, if I lived in Europe the PS3 would be my main system.

Its no surprise really if you look at the software sales every week, its only really the uk that 360 is the strongest.Kenak said:Wow, I can't believe the PS3 is ahead of the 360.
Kenak said:Wow, I can't believe the PS3 is ahead of the 360.
you still are assuming they are exclusively related. Take FIFA for example. Top selling game in euro but why would someone buy one system over another if they both can play it. Thats where the other content comes in. If i can get the big MP game i want plus a bunch of other exclusives only on one system i would go with that system. There are numerous ps3 exclusives on the euro software chart. So while they might not be the best selling that still may be factoring why ps3 is outselling 360Kusagari said:You used the unique content as a reason for why PS3 is selling more in Europe. But no PS3 exclusive, except possibly GT, clearly sells as well as Halo or Gears. The PS3, just like the 360 now, is dominated by multiplatform games.

bobbytkc said:Why? Sony has been ahead for the last couple of years, and basically sold the same number of units last year due to the launch of Kinect.
jcm said:If you get all of your sales info from NPD threads then it's very surprising. Lots of GAFfers don't pay much attention to non-US sales.
Things I find surprising: Wii software sales in Europe are excellent. PSP hardware sales in Europe are respectable.
Why bring in the WW sales in an NPD thread? That doesn't make any sense. I'm glad that Nintendo revealed these numbers, as the EU sales were always a bit... iffy.klee123 said:US = World after all.

PSP hw wasn't really the problem to begin with, though, it sold really wellBeam said:I am only surprised about PSP numbers. 4 million is not bad at all.
That is the world wide numbers.mujun said:6.3 vs 5.5 is dominating?
TOTAL US EU JP
PS3 6.3 2.42 [B]2.79 [/B]1.11
NDS 5.5 2.67 2.26 0.60
360 5.5 3.45 [B]1.98 [/B] 0.09
OldJadedGamer said:Not true. Mediacreate threads are a constant here on GAF along with US sales threads It is no one's fault that realible EU numbers are close to impossible to come by. GAF pays attention to realible numbers from realible sources. When numbers come in, they are discussed. It is on topic of those threads to discuss sales in that region.
US and the UK, PS3 doesn't do that well in the UK like it does in the (rest of) Europe.LOCK said:The PS3 is doing great. If not for America the 360 would be a clear third place. The Wii is slowing, but holidays are more important.
