360 version outselling PS3 in the UK

tman

So despite Asda's claims, it appears that the 360 came out firmly on top here.
Would be interesting to see some worldwide figures though

mmmmm.... Fanboi baiting

Not suprising given that there are nearly twice as many 360 consoles sold in UK than PS3.

Same situation in US where there are 3 times as many 360 sold as PS3.

reckon it'll top the all-time games list?

1. Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green (Game Boy – 20.08 million approximately: 10.23 million in Japan,[43] 9.85 million in US)[18]
2. Nintendogs (DS – 18.67 million)[70]
3. Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES – 18 million)[40]
4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2 – 17.5 million,[24] may include PC and Xbox versions)
5. Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (PS2 – 14.87 million)[102]
6. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (DS – 14.77 million)[70]
7. Pokémon Gold and Silver (Game Boy Color – 14.51 million approximately: 7.6 million in US,[18] 6.91 million in Japan)[43]
8. Grand Theft Auto III (PS2 – 14.5 million,[24] may include PC and Xbox versions)
9. New Super Mario Bros. (DS – 14.16 million)[70]
10. Super Mario Land (Game Boy – 14 million)[40]

You left out tetris and the original super mario bros., they're the top two.

That list is utter tosh. How 'Nintendogs' a souped up tamagochi can be the second biggest selling game of all time baffles me. I was nearly certain San Andreas was in the top 10, no?

To be honest, I think that's pretty good for sony, considering how long the console has been released. Lets not forget the 360 is twice as old as the PS3.

I thought Sony said yesterday that the PS3 has outsold the 360 across Europe, is it not the same in the UK?

i believe he said the ps3 has been consistently outselling the xbox since last october in europe. that's what i read on the gamespot review from the same event. i didn't read that one. that doesn't there are more ps3's sold than xbox's EVER - just since last october and in europe.

Whatever the case may be, it's still a pretty good achievment for Sony.
