PSP 2,399,757
PS2 1,958,444
Xbox360 1,894,335

alot of consoles got sold during dec 9 to dec 30 and one has to start realising that current gen is about the 7 year old ps2 aswell and not just wii, ps3 and x360, the 360 got last in line again, but the most impressive one is ps2, whom could have imagine ps2 outselling x360 seven years after it´s launch.

Nice totals for Sony btw.

merry christmas, xmas, holidays or god jul på er

have a nice one and make sure you enjoy the few days that´s left of this year and since christmas has already passed happy new year aswell

--------------------
Ah yeas, worldwise sales chart week ending dec 22.

Wii:1,457,872
PSP: 725,370
PS2: 623,899
PS3: 619,388
Xbox 360: 594,520

Wii is looking to get a realy strong 07 christmas, even tho we have one ourselves, besides our ps2, ps3, x360 and psp i realy dont understand how it can sell as much as it do, great for the big n but seriously, except for the casual fun that wii sports is, it doesnt have one single game experience that realy lasts or stand out compared to what other formats offer, and in all honesty, eye toy gave you what wii mote does years ago, a well it´s of no importance, it sells alot and that´s good fun for nintento and i guess for alot of elderly which is good for the entire media business.

Worthy of attention is that x360 is once again last in line of all the three current gen consoles (wii,ps3,x360) both in hardware and software sales.

Europe, sales chart

From the week ending 16 December sales in Europe was as follows.

Weekly
Wii 349,770
Ps3 257,325
Ps2 237,696
Psp 214,993
x360 172,401

Which brings Playstation 3 to 3,037,110 sold units in Europe.

The best selling active console in totals is still the ps2 with 45,354,391 sold units in Europe and since it´s still outselling the x360 Sony doesnt seem like it´s about to loose it´s crown here in Eu, especialy not now when the ps3 is steadily outselling the box aswell.

Which reminds me, that means that worldwide, the x360 is yet again last in line when it comes to sales out of the three new consoles (wii,ps3 and x360), sadly tho, alot of media is so NA focused that it´s still reporting ps3 to hold that not so intriguing last in line spot when it comes to sales per week.

Well the world is more then Usa and Canada and even tho we love those countries, worldwide sales are far more important then North american sales only, which odly enough doesnt seem to be how some view things.

worldwide sales for the week ending december 8

Ps3 overtakes x360 in totals in France

Yep, Playstation 3 has already sold more then x360 in totals in France, despite x360 having a year lead the ps3 has surpassed it in total amount of units sold a pretty nice performance by Sony, but then again, here in Europe, ps3 outsells x360 month by month so it´s a given that sooner or later the ps3 will get ahead in totals aswell, but it did happen sooner then we had expected.

The PlayStation brand by far dominates the French market, with more than a third of hardcore gamers being "equipped" with a PS2, while 13% are still enamoured with their PS1. The Wii comes next, with 11% of the gamers owning Nintendo's product. The Xbox trails the Wii with 10%, while the Xbox 360 has only 4% market share, even behind its later-arrived rival PlayStation 3 (5%). The good-ol' GameCube is still young and fresh, at 8% market share."

Not sure how they came to the conclusion that 8% is still using a gamecube or that 13% are still stuck with a ps1, but that´s what they claim so that almost gives playstation a 50% marketshare in France.

Console sales, Europe

Numbers from the week ending 9 December here in Europe.

Wii 269,649
PS3 195,606
PS2 170,607
PSP 164,716
X360 143,621

Amazing to see how good ps2 keeps selling now that christmas is around the corner, looking at numbers like that and the fact that the ps2 sold better this year then last year it´s no wonder sony will release yet one more ps2 version during 2008, with healthy sales numbers for all it´s consoles Sony has realy pulled off a nice 2007.

Sales chart, Eu

The latest numbers from Europe are in and out of the big areas it´s now officialy so that x360 is only outselling the ps3 In us of a, in Europe and Japan it´s the other way around and with a more then healthy margin to and wii just keep on ticking.

Which is weird, but heck im glad for the big N.

Wii 244,133
PS2 168,955
PS3 156,681
PSP 112,035
360 104,965

Sony pummels the competition for a greener world

Yep they do.
Greenpeace released recent figures covering how companies care for the environment and how their products impact their users and the environments.

Sony came out on top with a 7.3 score, their products are toxic free and recyclable and Sony even endorse you to give back your old stuff.

Microsoft on the other hand makes good use of harmful chemicals in their products so bevare of green childrens if you´re planing to give away a x360 this christmas and thus recieved an abysmal 2.7 score.

Nintendo? Well the company targeting younger then young kids in their adverts, forcing their parents to buy a wii through the might that is kids, well it´s of no surprise to see that they are the worst ever.. Nintendo scored an unheard of zero points, it´s never ever happened before in greenpeaces history.

So here´s the scores for the big 3 in black and white.

Sony - the green giant, whom cares for you and the earth, 7.3
Microsoft - beware of poision, 2.7
Nintento - ouch, Nintendo is on their way to global disintegration, so i recon they must be working for aliens, 0

sales numbers, Japan, 12-18 Nov.

DSLite: 81000
PSP: 66000
PS3: 53000
Wii: 36000
PS2: 8800
X360: 5700

The second week in a row where the ps3 outsells wii and software wise dynasty warriors 6 and heavenly sword keep on recieving high and steady sales with ratchet and clank.tools alittle further down the list.

console sales, japan, nov 5 - 11

- DS Lite: 78,854
- PSP: 58,964
- PS3: 55,924
- Wii: 34,546
- PS2: 9,043
- Xbox 360: 5,817

that´s a 10 to 1 ratio for the ps3 versus the x360, and almost a 2:1 ratio for ps3 vs wii, and to make things even worse, that period only reflects one single day of sales after the pricedrop so next period should boost even higher numbers for the ps3.

Another thing to keep in mind here is that put´s sony as the nr.1 console division in Japan, the psp,ps3 and ps2 outsells nintendos combined sales.

console sales chart

Ps3 is as of now even outselling the "mighty" wii in Europe and xbox360 is left at a dismal 6:th place outgunned by ds,ps3,wii,psp and the good ol ps2.

As for playstation 2, i think everyone needs to realise it will be on sale for a very long time, so while talking about sony, one cant just mention ps3, ps2 outsells xbox 360 week by week so as far as Sony goes, they are very healthy on the console side of things.

Anyway here´s the latest figures for europe.

Weekly Total

warhawk. part II, first hand impressions

After playing warhawk for a few more weeks i just had to repost again and say that this game is pure brilliance.

The implementation of the sixaxis motion sensor is so smooth it´s like second nature using it, at first it will feel weird, and i guess some sceptics leave it at that, not giving more then a few minutes, but if you do, the rewards are pretty quick.

Driving the warhawks in pro mode, using the right analog for increased and more extreme manouvers, the left analog for separat aiming and the motion sensor for diving,climbinb and banking left and right is just so second nature after a short period of time, makes you wonder how any flightsim can do without motion sensor controls and warhawk isnt even ment to be realistic, it´s all about pure fun and skill based gameplay..

Great stuff in other words and realy, how anyone can prefer the wii control over this is an enigma, sure it´s personl preferences but warhawk truly is an online multiplayer masterpiece.

As a comparision im also recently been playing quake wars on our high end pc and warhawk is pretty much the same thing.

Just that as good as quake wars is, and it is, warhawk holds all the trumph cards.
It´s more fastpaced, it´s more instant to get into, it´s not as cluttered and mystic at first glance, everyone can dig into warhawks goals and gameplay the first few seconds but mastering is another story tho.

Warhawk actually looks better to, but what they do share is that they are both realy fun to play, but once again warhawk has the upper hand.

Best online fps i´ve played since q2ctf now that i´ve given it a few weeks and easily this years online fps king so far, and to be honest, i dont see most heavy contenders being able to detronize it, sure games like UT III will be all out and cool but just like quake wars they wont most likely be able to deliver that pure fun ride that is warhawk.

Console sales. Japan

No need to realy say anything since the number speaks for themselves, Aug 27 ´til Sep 2.

Wii continues losing ground, and x360 seems to be heading towards 0 sold consoles per week in Japan, but everyones (some us analysts atleast) favourite hate pet, the shiny ps3, keeps on improving it´s sales, it´s always amusing seeing how out of touch most analysts are with reality, in 12 month they´ll picked up what everyone else can already see, ps3 is gaining momentum each week that goes.


Wii - 39,371
PLAYSTATION 3 - 18,068
PlayStation 2 - 14,280
Xbox 360 - 1,635
