PS3 outsells Xbox 360 in Europe, 2-to-1 photo

The PlayStation 3 sales overcame those of the Xbox 360 week in Europe, according to the hardware sales numbers posted at CVG.

It looks like the PS3 price cut was just enough to get European gamers to take the plunge. With the new 40GB model hitting shelves, and the 60GB model seeing a price drop, 64,000 PS3s were snapped up last week, just missing the Wii numbers by about 6,000 units.

The Xbox 360 had a good run during the Halo 3 launch, even edging out the Wii, but it has now fallen to last place for current generation consoles, ranking below even the PSP and PS2.  

Despite all of that action, the DS still takes top honors, with 171,260 units sold just last week. It prints Euros!

I can see yur argument on the production quality, no arguing there, it is def one of the prettiest games i've seen in a while, all i know is i'm not a fan of movie style games, the last one i played was xenosaga, and out of about 40 hrs of game, 26 were cutscenes. Not my style, that is all.
Until next time, this is pwned88 signing off! Tune in next time kids.

I just wanted to say Xbox + Halo 3 can't beat a PS3 price drop and a kiddie game of R&C, quick fall if you ask me to relatively simple things.

@Volomon: Ratchet & Clank is a kiddie game?!?!?! You either (A) have never actually played through any of the games in the series, or (B) are just trying to start a flame war. Either way, you’re being moronic. Just because R&C is very colorful and has a furry animal for a character doesn’t preclude adults from playing it, and the humor in those games certainly isn’t for kids.

@bhive01: I agree with all your posts here 100%.

I wish I could get in on the FNFs, but I just always go out on fridays, and as for WNW, I always work on wednesdays. Last time I brought the PS3 to work, I messed up my shift a little. (I work at a radio station, so I don't have to do anything until the top of the hour, so I have plenty of time to play on a tv and everything, but you can't pause an online match.)

OMG Why is it every time I read a forum involving the 360 and the PS3 all I read is posts on how bad the PS3 is doing. I wonder if the skeptics are aware of the 10 month trends of both consoles. according to a reliable source NPD the PS3 is at the same sales figures as the 360 where at 10 months and also the software issue where both identical. Both systems failed to have enough software in the first year on the market. The true sales figure will be made in the second year of the PS3 just as they where made in the first. Yet as popular as teh PS2 was it was selling even fewer console it's first year then the PS3 is this time around.

I personally don't care what console you prefer. In my mind they all do some things great and other things terible, but i don't go online and spend hours bad mouthing microsoft and Nintendo because i don't prefer thier consoles. Too each his or her own opn which console they purchase or purchased. whith all of them sofware will come along after time and as we saw with the xbox and the PS2 they pushed the capibilities of each to the max and made some of the best games on the market after a couple of years.

So I myself will wait a couple of years before i say anything about anyones choices on what console they purchased..

Funny thing is as it stands today the wii is winning the minds of most families anyway. This could be because there are far more younger children that play games then there are us older generation and seeing as most of the Xbox thrillers are FPS and seem to make online play more important then storyline and individaul player games where sony spends its money on the wii kills both with family games for the entire family.

So really is it worth fighting about day after day. Personally i would rather play games more then write on this blog about this issue.

No one really cares about the PS3 not having too many games, especially when 95% of PS2 games are better than Xbox 360. Just not good enough graphics for the Halo graphicwhore fanboys.

pwned88 you are a retard saying the 360 is like epically winning for 2 years .who ever is counting on he first year for 360 is absolutely full of shit like a microsoft fan boy .because last year the war just started when the ps3 and WII WAS released but microsoft has not proved anything yet either in my eyes i still see the same old company trying to keep up by head stat but ps3 is still gonna win the war because no one has not even seen a gta game in this gen yet so lets wait and see and see what the next big rock star franchise will be about on ps3 or 360 and lets see if 360 sells more copies or ps3 does until rock star get the game to look alike i think then you have to get a ps3 for sure at the end of the day.360 is hardware crap so sit on it you cant put anything good on 360 besides a 10 year old soft ware called live and for those retard who play on live they are just stamidiots

@SonyJoker, I hate to say it, but I can almost guarantee that the first GTA game for this generation of systems will sell better on the 360 because of it's install base. Cross platform games are not a good way to judge a system's popularity this generation IMO.

Sony, just needs to stay on their studios and make sure they put out quality games. If they release good games like the ones I mentioned above and help 3rd party developers like MS is doing then that will go a long way towards getting the PS3 out of 3rd place and into 2nd. I'm afraid that the Wii is a beast that will put both MS and Sony to shame this generation. That and the Wii2 will be out much sooner than the 720 and PS4 will be.
