these are only european and as ea predicts them..EU is very hard to get because of multiple companies tracking and etc...

" Unlike Japan and the US, it's nigh-on impossible to get accurate hardware sales numbers for the European market as a whole. There are multiple companies tracking their sales charts, not every country is covered in published sales figures, not every batch of data includes total sales figures, etc etc. Lots of problems. EA, though, have taken a swing at predicting 2007's hardware sales charts themselves, basing it all on what we assume is paid-for GfK and ChartTrack data."

2007 SALES

DS: 8.7 million
Wii: 4.8 million
PlayStation 2: 3.8 million
PlayStation Portable: 3.1 million
PlayStation 3: 2.8 million
Xbox 360: 1.9 million

===============

PREDICTED 2008 SALES

DS: 7 million
Wii: 7 million
PlayStation 3: 5.5 million
PlayStation Portable: 3 million
Xbox 360: 2 million
PlayStation 2: 1.95 million

======================

so they are expecting for the PS2 and the 360 to sell at about the same rate...Hmmmmmm

most of those numbers seem to be lower than what I would think....

Seems off to me. Numbers are just numbers. I will still to this day play what I find fun and not base it on how many people have it or will have it.

he said he was looking for an AAA ps3 game. not an AAAE.

all those games are on the ps3 (and ninja gaiden sigma isnt on the 360 but whatever). he wants to play an aaa game on his ps3, kind of funny because in his picture he's staring right at one (assassins creed) and if he has cod4 hes probably playing online all the time like me.

Um, yes they do count. That's the dumbest logic I ever heard. If one of your friends buys a PS3 and asks for some great games for it, you are not going to say Call of Duty 4 or GRAW 2 because they "don't count?" What a load of crap.

Europe is very very PC based, especially out to the East, if you look at the software charts for germany, their isnt a single 360/PS3 game on their, the top spot is either Crysis or COD4 (PC) at the moment.

So they think PS3 will outsell 360 by 3 million units in Europe good stuff. Now all it has to do is make up the other 4 million between the USA and Japan which will be easy to do.
