I thought Europe was the home of sony, yet the 360 has 5 games in the top 20. THat's tied with the PC for the most. Maybe Europe actually just like Microsoft. The Microsoft platforms holds 50% of the top 20 spots

PirateThom6255d ago

We're counting PC as a Microsoft platform now?

No, sadly, PC is the reason the 360 faces hell in Europe. It's still very PC-centric.

vgfakechartz186255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

Nope thats just Swedish chart

In French/spanish/italian charts no x360 game is usually seen

Those are now being posted at the moment

@jolly please look at Spanish/italian and French chart

4 ps3 games vs 1 x360 game..yep thats the scenario in major eu markets besides UK

JOLLY16255d ago

nasim, I know you aren't all that smart but surely you can figure out that 1+1+1+1+1=5.

x360?

BTW

in swedish charts

there are 3 PS3 games in top 15 vs 4 PS3 games

so that should tell you something

However x360's scenario in major parts like France/italy/spain became worse last month

JOLLY16255d ago

It does tell me something Xbox360 (5)> ps3 (4)...in Sweden.

Aclay6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

"I thought Europe was the home of sony, yet the 360 has 5 games in the top 20. Maybe Europe actually just like Microsoft"

Pretty much the only thing holding the PS3 back from overtaking the 360 in sales in Europe for good is Gran Turismo 5 and a price cut... once a price cut and/or GT5 drops, I think the PS3 will surpass the 360 in sales and maintain the lead.

I remember last year David Reeves said that the PS3 had actually overtaken the 360 in sales, but once Microsoft dropped the price a second time in 2008 in Europe, that's when the 360 started to outsell the PS3 and the 360 regained a lead.

When you think about it, the 360 should have a MUCH bigger lead over the PS3 in EU because the 360 came out worldwide in November 2005, but the PS3 didn't come out in Europe until March 2007, yet the lead the 360 has over the PS3 in EU is very small, and the PS3 has sold Faster in Europe at a higher price.

Microsoft and the 360 has gained some ground in Europe, but I think Playstation in many places has a bigger influence because it took a LOT of price cuts in Europe to convince people to even buy the Xbox 360.

JOLLY16255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

As soon as ps3 gets a price cut, Eu will go nuts. Then it will be hard to find a 360 game on any of these charts.

(Oh wait....did he say something pro-ps3? Nasim's head just exploded)
Yeah, I am not blind, I just like giving nasim a hard time. That kid is ruining this site.

vgfakechartz186255d ago

Look at the Spanish chart

4 PS3 game vs 1 X360 game

French chart 2 PS3 game vs 1 x360 game

Italian chart

4 PS3 games vs 1 x360 game

JOLLY16255d ago

Now he is going to go to the open zone, just so he can spam the same info.

Karum6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

So Sweden = Europe?

MS having 5 games in the top 20 in SWEDEN doesn't really tie in to what you said in your original comment.

Japan is the home of Sony, not Europe. The Playstation has just always been popular in the region.

barom6255d ago

Lol and if we take top 10 we have 2xPS3 > 1x360
If we take top 15 we have 3xPS3 > 2x360

We can spin this a lot of ways. But I'll leave that job to the PRs.

soxfan20056255d ago

Of course, these so called "sales" charts have no numbers on them. For all we know, RE5 for PS3 could have sold 1000 copies, and RE5 for 360 could have sold 995. Without numbers, these charts are meaningless.

Trollimite6255d ago

please stop with the fanboy stuff. there is more than enough room for two consoles. fanboyism is dead!

callahan096255d ago

Yeah, well, the PS3 as a single platform has 2 games in the top 5. The only platform to have 2 in the top 5. The 360 doesn't even have 2 games in the top 10.

KRUSSIDULL6254d ago

My country likes PS3 except me I somehow like 360 more :) But my dad still has a PS3 so no worries ;)

Swedes are more Microsoft centric than americans in general. Maybe that's why Gates came here for the release of WinXP? Gates has proclaimed this himself.

vgfakechartz186255d ago

There are 3 ps3 games in top 15 and just 1 x360 game in top 15

JOLLY16255d ago

nasim there are 4 ps3 in the top 15 and 3 for the 360....you really can't count.

those are major eu markets besides UK?

seen x360 games sales in those charts?

SoapShoes6255d ago

Then how does that exactly mean they love Microsoft over there? You just pointed out there are more PS3 games in the top 15 and in higher positions. I'm not seeing how 360 is doing better.

Bebedora6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

Well, if you believe me when I say, I'm living in a land of computer-idiots, then I am (sweden). lol

Anyways, Xbox is doing way better here in the top-charts I've seen than in any other countries.

@belowe: I am trying to make a point here, the XBox as well as PC is MS oriented here. PC is still king here. But to tell you, it's been more console-oriented as I can see it. I am just saying that, MS has been a stronghold here and is why XBox is always promoted first in any shop.
(They give you a smirky smile or a look that could kill if you're yapping about a PS3 game).

Further on: Things are starting to cool off. It's been more and more neutral to what system to buy, console-wise.

Summarum: Why the charts are what they are, is because we like PC first, Xbox is selling mostly because of brand recognition (HAHAHA). But as I've said things are changing to a more normal level of things.

Am I confusing you still?

JOLLY16255d ago

First you said Microsoft. Then you said 360. Make up your mind. You do realize PC is included in the whole Microsoft part right?

SoapShoes6255d ago

Spinning it. PC has a death grip over computers, just because Windows is pretty much standard does not mean people like Microsoft. People don't buy PC games thinking about how Windows is so great.

Bebedora6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

Estranged: You should see our 'dictator/ruler' of what to use in our net at my office. He reeks of it when talked about something-anything than MS. I am usually not paranoid, but this attitude is, as I can see, very wide spread among the top-dogs in it or computer-shops here.

A better word is closeminded though.

GiantEnemyCrab6255d ago

Another account?? Aren't you embarrassed of yourself by now?? Posting sales charts with no numbers and spewing your Sony nonsense. Funny thing if you added the numbers for every chart you post it still doesn't even equal one week in the larger regions.

You are the poster boy of Sony fanboy fail.

Wow,Jolly lighten up,go play some games not sales, jeez

grantps36255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

ps3 has #2, #5, #12, #14
ps2 has #6, #8, #16, #20

sony has spots 2,5,6,8,12,14,16, 20

360 has #3, #11, #15, #17, #18

ps3's 2,5,12,14 > 360's 3,11,15,17,18

even though the 360 had more games in the top 10, the ps3's games were much higher on the chart

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle33d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7733d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg39d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree38d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai38d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
