Sony Sold More PS3s In Two Days Then Microsoft Sold 360s In A Month

"Sony's PlayStation 3 console has enjoyed a record-breaking launch in Europe, with about 600,000 sold in the first two days, despite its being the last and most expensive of the new games machines to come on the market."

"The sales figure compares with about 500,000 Xbox 360 consoles sold by Microsoft in Europe in the first month after its release in December 2005. Nintendo sold about 700,000 Wii consoles in Europe in the month after its launch last December."

so....doesn't change the fact that it's overpriced and has no good games to play

Who cares? You have no games to play. And stop saying wait a year. Microsoft isn't going to stand idle while games finally come out on the PS3. Have fun watching Talledaga Nights for the hundredth time and playing that stupid dirt bike game. Leave the hardcore gaming to the 360.

Good News about Sony is not allowed here.

The pre-orders built up over the months, so the console shifted loads of units on launch. We should really be seeing how long the pre-orders took to get as high as they did; because the Wii sold out in minutes on some websites.

Both the PS3 and PSP hold records for the fastest selling system (of their class): both came out long after pre-orders started

Two days and they still didn't sell out at launch!!Warfust

Makes sense to me. It's a new console launch.DaysAirlines

thats cool for ps3 fans, is that only europe tho ? or + NA launcharabi_89

those are european sales only.

The UK didnt get the memo...Sony is out and Microsoft/Nintendo is in!jfkunrendered

um the UK had the biggest launch. did you even read the article?

I love fanboys and their logic. Here is one for you. New systems this gen breaks old records for 1 simple reason. Supply. Each launch has had more supply. This is why its only Ps3 that hasnt sold out, that and very few god games, but wii is hardily that much better. 360 and Wii, both sold out for months after launch. Ps3 not soldout on day one. You cant spin that.ps3-nikita

wasn't the ps3 suppose to flop in europe because of its high price point?

A launch console sold more than a console that's been out for a year :|

Amazing...
 

PS3s are cheaper in places in Europe, such as the UK, therefore more tempting. Cows will cling onto anything wthout seeing it logically or atleast with common sense :roll:Toaster_Cell

If you actually read the article. It said that the 360 sold 500,000 consoles the first month it was out in Europe. The PS3 sold 600,000 in 2 days.
