Europe Is Sony's Land Confirmed

Only in three months since it was launched, PLAYSTATION 3 has became the preferred entertainment system by surpassing 216.000 units in Iberia (NdT: Spain+Portugal), being 194.000 of those systems sold in Spain", said James Armstrong, Senior Vicepresident of Southern Europe and managing director of SCEE. According Armstrong, "In this period, PLAYSTATION 3 has surpassed already X360 sales, which launched back in 2005, and it's tied with Wii, which launched in december of 2006, with a substantially lesser price". And he adds: "That sales figures make PLAYSTATION 3 the platform with faster market penetration ever

passed 360s sales already and tied with the wii? this just further confirms reeves statement of 360 being about dead in europe.

hasnt the 360 sold about2-3 million in europe i wouldnt call that dead

and on a side note who the hell is buying a ps3, im from europe and can recognise that sony is rapeing the european consumer, upwards of $800, less bc than japan/america, no price drop, delayed launch etc.

people who buy the ps3 in europe are just retarded

Honestly, i find it hilarious that you think Spain = Europe.

Are you trying to claim 216k units sold total as ownage? In the US Xbox 360 sells that much over the PS3 every month...mastarifla

it outsold 360 and is tied with wii both of which launched way before ps3. not only this but ps3 cost twice as much as 360 and almost 3x much as wii.

I'm sorry, Spain is now "europe"? What do fanboys find so difficult with grasping the fact that Europe is a continant made up of MANY different countries across half the world?Ninja-Vox

i didn't make the article. everyone knows it's hard to track numbers for all of europe and this article just gives us a little insight of what is really going on over there.

as the other guy pointed out maybe you should check which countrys actually make up europe cos all this is talking about is part of tthe iberian penisula (ie spain and portugal), this does not mean europe as a whole by any means

And in the UK, the only European country which actually cares about videogames, the PS3 really aint that hot either. So much so that it's already nearly 100 bucks less than the official asking price.Ninja-Vox

ps2 sold over 45 million consoles in europe and your telling me thatmore then halfof them came from uk? where's the logic?

I'm sorry, Spain is now "europe"? What do fanboys find so difficult with grasping the fact that Europe is a continant made up of MANY different countries across half the world?Ninja-Vox

Yes, Europe = Spain + Portugal. England is all in like tha middle east or sumthing.

And in the UK, the only European country which actually cares about videogames, the PS3 really aint that hot either. So much so that it's already nearly 100 bucks less than the official asking price.Ninja-Vox

Why is the UK the only European country that cares about videogames?

Anyways, Spain is not the whole of Europe. I thought that would be kind of obvious. Change the title of this thread because it makes you look rather ignorant.

lol cows are ever so desperate

if you look at the numbers for ALL of europe, PS3 is in last place - where it should be

which makes for some massive self-ownage for the thread starter

There's two things you need to do:

• Make sure to re-check your post
• Retake Geography, because there is no way thatSpain's population equals all of Europe

I'm sure hope that what I said is helpful!!!

kudos to sony....theyre doing well in spain.

if u want a better picture of the games situation in europe though then try and find figures for the UK, France and Germany. as far as i know there the 3 biggest games markets in europe. the more countries the better though.

3 million in almost 2 years to a conutry that has the same potential as usa in sales and that's not dead to you?

No, it says spain. Not europe. YOU said Europe. This is like saying "PS3 does well in texas; USA SONY land confirmed!"

It's horrible logic. You do know Europe is a continant, dont you?

great what are you trying to say considering how the ps3 is doing even worse .... oh im sorry SPAIN

I cant believe he said Europe is a country with the same population as the US... this has made my day.Ninja-Vox

i did not say it has the same population as usa i just said that as far as video games go it hs the same potential as the usa to generate the sales for the demand and in 360s case there is clearly no demand.

live in germany .... have 360.... not fanbyo actually like ps2 and consider ps3 ..... know no one with ps3..... know a couple with 360s..... ps3 is in giant stacks at the front of every store at all the major retailors (media markt, saturn) (just to make it easy for you couse you cant seem to get it into your head

Where TwinBlade failed history, Renegade failed Geography.

Besides, I don't know. I think TwinBlade was much worse... for now...

I got this for you. It's a map of Europe. As you can see, it's a whole continant made up of many, many countries. I put a circle around spain so you can see why people laughed when you said "Europe is sony's land". PS3 selling well in spain does not, by any stretch of the imagination, make Europe Sony's land.

Population of spain: 40 million

Population of Europe: 730 million

nitpicking on the scale of mistaking land for sea.

I believe USA has approx. 301 million inhabitants, whilst europe can boost of approx. 728 million.

Yes, I know, geeky info, and yes, the hot girls in university told me that this kind of information would hardly get me anywhere... But who's having the last laugh now!!!

Oh by the by, I wouldn't say 360 is doin poorly here in europe. And I say this as a die hard sony boy.

Doesn't really matter as 360 and PS3 are getting a$$ invaded by the Wii.

Things will pick up tho..

Dont get so touchy. :| I'm not saying videogames are inexistant everywhere else, simply that the UK is known to buy a heck of a lot more video games in comparison to population when compared elsewhere. It's the third largest consumer of videogames in the world proportionally, with the US and Japan being the other two.

You got to milk your 5 minutes! Write a book about it, make a movie based on the book, make a video game based on the movie, then a Director's Cut. You'll make millions!

ps3 already pwned 360 in japan, and now in europe, it's a matter of time before the invasion hits america. for the love of the 360, i hope god helps it. i know i hate the 360 but this is just too much for it. the ps3 also needs a competition already. jeeze.LeDavester
