Europes PS3 Will Hit 4 Million By Years End

Sony is set to sell 4 million PlayStation 3 units to European consumers by the end of 2007, according to Screen Digest.

Speaking to The Times Online, analyst Nick Parker dismissed suggestions that plentiful stocks of the console could be seen to indicate poor sales performance.

"The lack of shortage is supply driven; what Sony has shipped will sell," he said.

Sony is going to sell more PS3s in Europe this year then M$ has managed to sell in the last 14 months :lol:

Considering Sony can't even sell out their preorders, that is a bold statement.

Any way a price drop + Halo 3 + GTA IV + Mass Effect + Bioshock + Assassin's Creed + DMC4 + Forza Motorsport 2 + oh I could go on for a while = massive sales for the 360 later in the year.

When have predictions about how much the PS3 is going to own the competition ever came true? Why should we start thinking it will happen now? Europeans probably have even less cash to waste on games than Americans, so price and lack of games is going to be an issue there too.Idonomeus

30 games at launch PS2 NA and European sales are about even at 45 million each.

Well if it does sell that many....the PS3 will still be faaaaaar behind the Wii.

Next, please

TC, Please stop trolling, you have provided nothng but predictions that hold no merit. This whole topic is damage control, and trying to use analysts as ownage is useless, because they "predict" things,and predictions hold no merit.

[QUOTE="fatzombiepigeon"]What if demand wavers off, like it did with America? it's down to 127,000 a month.InfamousC

It will pick back with games like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Devil May Cry 4, Ratchet and Clank, Assassin's Creed, and Grand Theft Auto IV come.

The 360 at launch had the highest attach rate in the history of launches (4 games per console sold). It must have had some great games at launch otherwise the attach rate would have sucked (look at PS3 for reference on what a low attach rate is suppose to look like at launch). The 360 currently has a 5.3 attach rate so it actually went up in a years time which is amazing considering the attach rate normally goes down the more consoles you sell.

With the amazing games I already mentioned and many more that are out or soon to be out this year (Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Too Human, GRAW2, Crackdown, NBA Street Homecourt, GH2, Lost Planet, Shadowrun, UT3, etc) the attach rate could get even higher.

High attach rate only means alot of hardcore gamers own the console. That's not necessarily a good thing.

At this point I could bump the numerous threads where you praised DMC, but it looks like someone else is beating me to it

"This will surely push some system sales." - yeah, it'll push 360's ;)

It obviously is a good thing for the devs/pubs. The 360 has what? 15, 16 games that have already sold over 1 million copies in 16 months time. No wonder the PS3 continues to lose exclusive after exclusive.

You are right the 360 has an AMAZING attach rate but I just wanted to point on that you are COMPLETELY wrong about the attach rate falling.  The attach rate almost always goes UP over time due to more games coming out and with the older 360 owners buying more games.
