PS3 obviously still on top in the UK

(going purely by this screenshot of the itunes store top 100 podcasts)

1up yours or Diggnation never made it into the top 100 podcasts.

Not really. 360 is the top dog there.

xbox is not as famous as playstation brand in uk...so ofcourseps3 would be on top

well wii is really. the 360 has sold more than the ps3, although i'm not sure if it's still selling more. for as little as £90 for the 360 arcade i'd presume it is selling more than a £299 console.

with a price drop people would go ps3 though, we are definitely a playstation country.

UK is 360 land!

I cant remember the article exactly but i remember reading the 360 has been outselling the Wii ever since it had a price increase. But if you meant overall sales then yeah.

Il go look for it now.

The 360 is definately leading but no company has it on lock...yet.

Jonnty is correct. Playstation is the bigger name over here. (I'm not talking sales)

"Xbox" is the new "Playstation", just how "Playstation" became the new "Nintendo". Watch enough TV and you'll notice this.

They mention "Xbox", and in those government adverts to reduce wasting energy, what do they show? A 360 controller, not Dualshock. Proof right there.

]you missed my point completely, i never said the xbox brand was more famous than the playstation brand, i said the XBOX 360 is more POPULAR than the ps3, show me where i said it was more famous? delta3074

the Playstation brand is HUGE. in the UK.

but the console is expensive, most people dont know what BluRay is- & lots of people still do not have HDTVs.

I know that everyone used to have a PS2- a few guys have bought PS3s (one then got a xbox360 afterwards) because they were familiar with the Playstation brand and had a PS2.

a lot of people have switched over to Xbox 360 however.

Xbox 360 launched in late 2005 in the UK but PS3 didnt launch until early 2007. this gave Microosft the advantage- plus the lower pricepoint has been decisive.

Northampton has a population of 190,000. I find it hard to believe you know 90% of the people who live there.

More people own 360 in the uk but in Southend (its near London) where i live there's a decent amount of people who own ps3 to.

Also if there is a price drop I know loads of people who would go out and by a ps3.

PlayStation brand is more powerful than Xbox. Period.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="jonnyt61"] I do, and I can be pretty damn certain that Xbox isn't as famous as Playstation. There isn't a person I know, young or old, who doesn't know what a Playstation is. On the other hand, I could find a lot who don't know what the hell an Xbox is.reiv

[QUOTE="delta3074"]i disagree, everyone i know bar 3 people in northampton own a 360 and a wii, not a ps3, and trust me, i know 90% of the population here, besides, more famous doesn't equal more popular, the topic was about which was more POPULAR not more famous dude.delta3074

Ok gotcha. Just pointing out that 90% of 190,000 is still over 170,000 people and that is an insane number. I've passed through Northampton a few times. Had a few beers there too but that was 15-20 years ago.

Well how do you measure peoples' perception of brand name?? You're talking about something that cannot be measured and is highly subjective. Sales represent consumer awareness of a product and the fact 360 is selling more is a clear indication of where consumer preferences are.

Its like which brand of trainers (sneakers to you yanks) has the more popular brand name...well its easy, which brand name sells the most.

The only way you could claim the playstation brand is more popular in the UK, without using sales figures would be to do a consumer survey. Unless you've got something to back up your claims, you can't make them!!

i guess the only thing you can do is use sales. if you combine psp, ps2 and ps3 sales then it is still bigger than the xbox brand.

you can factor in a few other things too like history, and as you say customer awareness. a small shoe company might outsell nike or adidas but people will still say nike are the most popular regardless. it does get subjective at that point, but if you ask anyone who is the bigger club out of newcastle or inter milan they will all say inter milan despite newcastle having better attendance at games.

[QUOTE="Mckenna1845"] yeah but he was talking about playstation brand vs xbox brand. the 360 might be selling more but it has nothing on the playstation brand, you're forgetting the psp, ps2 and playstation they collectively are way more popular than the xbox brand.Mckenna1845

OK by including the psp, ps2 and ps3, atleast you're backing up your claims, many were just stating the 'playstation' brand was bigger with no reason to back it up. Atleast now it can be argued the playstation brand is bigger because it has more games products etc. You see my point?

lol, PS3 is pretty much a joke here. In the "Game" stores all the PS3 games are in the special "loser" position in store that the original xbox games were in last gen:P

My mum knows what a playstation is - true storyangryfodder

*shrugs* My mum knows what an Xbox is but she'll actually have a go on a Wii !!

Not in the UK. In the rest of Europe, the PS3 is much more popular out of the two but the UK is more like the USA.Floppy_Jim
