BTW in case anyone just sees the vgchartz link, these are not vghartz numbers, but rather from a forum poster "prosugno360" who claims to have access to gfk numbers for Italy.

One month in july = a source for better sales in the entire europe?

Germany alone = a source for better sales in the entire europe?

If your going to claim something like that, you need a real source, this info is worth nothing.

I didn't say so did I (explicitly claimed that this source was germany only, so you better reread my post)?

But now we have 2 countries saying the same already

When the UK is the biggest market by far, and the 360 is doing way better in Scandinavia than in the lower parts of Europe.

So?

We also have PS3 trending down toward 360 rapidly :smile:

Not too mention I think this was before 360's Euro price adjustments.

And before the PS3 starter pack.

It will be interesting how Microsofts massive ad campaign for Halo3 will turn out, it will probably cause some bump in the sales over here, even though that not everyone here are hell bent for shooters.

I don't know where VGChartz gets its numbers from. AFAIK there's no European measures on the whole, apart from a few regional counters. Japan gets Media Create. NA gets NPD. But Europe is mostly just guess work it seems!

Chartrack ?

Chart-Track monitors sales each week of all the major games consoles: Sony Playstation, Sony Playstation 2, Sony Playstation 3, Sony PSP, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, Microsoft XBox and Microsoft Xbox 360. Data is available to subscribers every Monday afternoon on the previous week's UK sales (via email).

Chartrack ?

Charttrack is UK only. There's also GfK which offers sales numbers for a few countries l like Germany, Spain, etc. I don't know how accurately they're tracking sales, though.

The point here is that your making a firm statement about european sales, without having ANY links. I dont need to reread your post, my reading comprehension is perfect in this case. YOU said bla bla bla PS3 > X360 in sales in europe. You where asked for a link, all you can show for is something from germany.

Not good enough. If you cannot back up what you say with proper sources or argument, dont say it at all.

2 countries saying the same? Italy is saying that the PS3 is selling a mere 2-3k better than the X360, after its 3rd month after launch. It doesn't really give you anything that could be remotely used to suggest that the X360 is being outsold in europe.
