PS3 Has Passed 250,000 Units Sold In Spain

Translated text reads as :-

"James Armstrong ,vice president senior of south europe assures the PS3 has sold in Spain more than 250 000 units and that the previsions for this christmas campaign are estimated in about 425 000 units .

So here you have it ,the PS3 is above 250 000 units in Spain ,nearly equal with the Wii and way ahead already of the 360 . "

Spain is like the only European country that's anywhere close to the XBox 360 in overall sale, but I don't think they have pass them yet. All the other European countries the XBox 360 is killing the PS3.

Has anybody else noticed anytime Renegade's threads starts with an article, he immediately does another post as to respond to his own post.

These people are not gonna rush out and buy a $400 PS3 with hardly any games when they can continue to play their PS2.

NitaraPwnzU

Or heres the shocker...maybe that "plain stupid" person decided the would save 200 euros on the 400 sku since, omg they already have a ps2! You claim to be unbiased buy everything you type comes out as an attack on someone who might feel differently than you do. Do no misunderstand me, yes removing BC is a horrible idea, but one that is definately being overplayed. Oh and your so called list of 250 games that work for BC on the 360? Thats if the absurd amount of updates you have to download to your tiny 20GB(un-modifiable or a real word that means the same thing) actually work. You also forget to mention that alot of features from the games don't work at all or don't work correctly, such as trying to play music of the HDD for Forza 1, or maybe that half of the time the updates screw up and some things totally fail, which is why I was unable to play Halo 2 online with my 360(after trying to download the updated twice).

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25963226

again this poll shows otherwise.

Try adding in the fact that the 40 GB has no BC to your poll so people know it will not play ANY PS2 games and watch the results!!!

did you bother to read any of the comments posted? people know the new console has no bc that's why alot of them said not just yet.

Which is why it will flop.. Dude I have a PS2.. Untill sony gets games and drops the 60 GB model down to 400 bucks.. I will not be buying one.. Anyone buying the 40GB one with no BC is just plain stupid if they have PS2 games.

show me a link that says it plays ZERO PS2 games and I will believe you.BoD_GOA_French

So you were about to tell me I was right and umm.. the 40 GB FAILS correct :D

I still can not beleave Sony took out the BC on the 40gb. What is the biggest complaint about the PS3. That there are not many games and no breakout games. So what does Sony do but then take out all the PS2 games to make it even less games.Eltroz

I'm not believing it either. Where's all this info/rumor coming from anyway?

I agree.. Take out WiFi.. My god WiFi is nice but certainly I could live without something like that.. I have wireless in my house but I refused to buy the 100 dollar WiFi on the 360.. Just as easy to run a cable which I already had for my Xbox original..

BC is everything to me since I own quite a few PS2 titles.. I am not going to buy a console that will not play ANY of my old games.. That is pretty stupid of Sony..

Developers Concern Over Europe 360 Sales

I would say that in the UK, Xbox 360 is doing okay. I would say in Continental Europe it's about dead.

The new 40GB version will debut in the UK on October 10 and is "no longer backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 titles," according to Sony. It will also only sport two USB slots instead of four and will ditch the multimemory card port--although this can be added on with an accessory.

So you were about to tell me I was right and umm.. the 40 GB FAILS correct :D

Nope, it will be BC just like the 80gb and the 60gb in europe. Everyone was crying about the euro PS3 not having any BC and it turned out to just be software emulation. Same will go with the new 40gb. software emulation doesn't add any cost to the system, it will have it. Fanboys are just trying to put the PS3 down because they are getting alittle scared now.

DUDE.. Can you not read??

Sony makes two big announcements for its UK customers in a pre-Christmas bid to boost PS3 sales; revised hardware loses PS2 backwards compatibility.

Sony did not return calls to comment by press time on why PlayStation 2 compatibility--which has always been handled with software in European PS3s--could not be achieved with the new model as well

Renegade needs to get his facts straight.

The UK nevertheless retains major economic, cultural, military and political influence today and is a nuclear power, with the second highest defence spending in the world. It holds a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, and is a member of the G8, NATO, the European Union and the Commonwealth of Nations.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is in Western Europe.

well i am going to leave wii out of this because we all know it is doing extraordinary well. but for 360 to be on the market for almost two years its sales are piss poor. sony on the other hand is on target to ship 11 million ps3s by march 2008 especially now that the new ps3 has been announced. i also exspect ps3 to start outselling 360 in europe completely now that this new one is here.

No I don't think so.. You will be lucky if Sony reaches 6 million by Xmas... and as far as the 40 GB POS3 that was announced.. I am sure everyone with a PS2 is going to run out and buy a system that will not play any of thier PS2 games..

SONY FAILS.. Who ever is running Sony should be fired.. 360 and Wii will win this gen quite easily.. Master Chief is about to drop kick Sony when the 360 Price cut is announced!! And every 360 has B/C..

:lol: joke post of the day? you cannot be serious. sony is already close to 5 million sold. they will easily push another 2-3 million at least this holiday season with the 40gb model.

Actually Sony is closer to 6 million sold.

Ohh no!

You claimed the system with the most sold globally gets the most support, and I brought up the Wii to prove that's not necessarily true.
