Altair to return in Assassin's Creed 2?Vgchartz has just released their European hardware sales for the month, and the sales are definitely nothing short of interesting. PlayStation 3 fans of the console will find closure in the fact that the PlayStation 3 console has outsold the 360 nearly by a 2:1 margin.
Europe is currently the PlayStation 3 consoles largest market, and it does not go unnoticed that the special starter packs announced back at E3 and the price drops helped to increase the numbers far beyond their earlier primes.
Currently in Europe, there are various starter packs which contain the console, two games made by SCEA and two SixAxis controllers for a very decent price. According to Sony around July of 07, "The choice of first party games available in the Starter Pack will vary to suit the interests of entertainment enthusiasts in each country, but will include million sellers such as launch title Resistance:Fall of Man and MotorStorm". Of course, these starter packs aren’t the only thing to warrant such a high esteem from Europe. There is the vast library of numerous PS3 games which span an entire genre.
With Ratchet & Clank, Folklore, Eye of Judgment released, and Uncharted soon to come in addition to many third party titles, there isn’t really any surprise as to why the reception is showing a significant gain towards the platform in Europe. Hopefully, and likely, the trend will start in Western regions and build upon the numbers further as more and more of these games are released for entertainment enthusiasts.
The following are the Console Weekly Total:
PS3 73,614 (Total: 1,953,642)
PS2 70,057 (Total: 44,272,772)
PSP 51,757 (Total: 8,641,209)
x360 38,212 (Total: 3,860,039)
GBA 5,634 (Total: 21,296,451)
Currently, the Wii is still outselling both the PS3 and x360, but everyone should keep in mind that the main basis for the console of the Wii is a casual market.

Next: PSU Champions: Resident Evil 2 Continuing our series of PlayStation games that could be benefit from a new lease of life on PlayStation 3, we present to you something that could well an truly be bought... |
this is old news, how about finding out info on SOCOM CONFRONTATION.
Every website is the same, especially this and ps3fanboy. I would like to visit one that actually gets INSIDE SCOOPS on PS3 VIDEO GAMES.
Not this stupid console war BS
little bit on the negative side arnt we AGB217
Yes, PS3 is outselling the 360 everywhere except for America. BUT soon the new 40GB model is arriving USA soon. 360 will be dead soon :)
@AGB217 Why dont you try looking at PSU's Feature section where they have done interviews with Developers...
And the 40Gb was JUST RELEASED? Half way or more through the month? Just imagine how bad the PS3 will kick *** in sales this upcoming month. All around the world, in North America and everything. Poor 360, I really thought it would have given Sony more a run for their money than this....There is a million reasons why the PS3 dominance was inevitable, and as for the wii, I have one myself, I don't even count it as a next gen console. (Had some good time with RE4 and Zelda, though.) As far as I'm concerned, the next gen war is between M$ and Sony. and Sony is raping.
I was at my friends house the other day, and he and his roommate were messing around with online stuff for halo 3, and they have this global map that shows all 360 users that are online, and like 94% of them were in the u.s. so if the ps3 out selling the 360 is going to be signifficant anywhere, then it's in the u.s.
woot woot the ps3 will dominate in Europe,its gaining momentum in japan.Its just a matter of time before it starts passing the xbox in the U.S.
Wait for 2008, PS3 will destroy the competition. good job Sony.
May'be Sony should look at releasing future consoles in Europe first rather than US.
Its a bit obvious things were going to turn around in EU, lets see how strong it lasts and how much growth during the holiday season.
Going good! Now Sony has realized that the price is very important. Interesting to see if they can reach their 10 million sales for this year.
Wait for 2008, PS3 will destroy the competition. good job Sony.
Looks very good, very surprised about the GBA(Game Buy Advance) thats just completly weird!
Put it does look really good for Sony, who are actually making a bit of profit in there sales department...BYE!
Well that's an interesting article!
No numbers for the TOP2 consoles?
And Ratchet is a bit late in Europe. Almost a month late.
goood gooood
The end is coming for xbox360 and hd-dvd
The futures name is ps3 and bluray
I believe things will get better for sony sooner than we expected
europe is the place for gaming! not crappy america.
Good to see. Hopefully it can catch the Wii.
the ps3 is outselling the 360 in europe and japan, now all thats left is the US.
Cool, but before I/we spell doom over 360, PS3 sales has to continue this trend.
psn id: gingo.... all EU wanted was a price drop because we were getting absolutely shafter here with the price, now they have done that people are accepting the price and buying ps3's
It needs to out sell Xbox 360 by at least 6:1 every month for the next 18 months straight just to be even with it. My guess is that even if we could do it over the next two years - by then Microsoft will press the button on a new Xbox Generation and reboot the console war. This is why we really needed MGS going into Christmas not July next year.
this aint nothin new, knew this was gonna happen.......360's just an undead refusing to fall from its lower charts..........the only question is of the PS3 and WII.......
