PS3 Sales Drop 82% In Second Week Of UK Release

It seems that sales of the PS3 in the UK have dropped drastically in the second week of the console's release. The numbers show an 82% drop in sales. The data comes from several major retailers including GAME, Gamestation, Play.com, and HMV. Draw your own conclusions, folks.

Not surprising, they were able to put out a ton at launch and broke a ton of sales records (destroyed the competition based on the same time frame).

Interesting post from AVS

Spain has sold 100,000 of its 110,000 PS3 consoles!

According to vgcharts.org here:

http://vgchartz.com/euroyearly.php

the XBOX360 sold about 120k in Spain in all of 2006 and about 20k at the end of 2005 (when it launched). The highest I could find there for any year for the older XBOX was about 110k (in 2004).

Well could it be because they are sold out? Hmm... Batcave time.

If you were a real fangirl, you'd want the PS3 to do great. Competition for hardware=better games.

This doesn't mean anything to me. Honestly? They prepped for week 1 with their alotment of units. This would only be comparable if they had the same EXACT number of units available during week two and they didn't sell...

Oh and... what Gordon said.

Maybe that is why he is smiling. Afterall the PS3 sold more units in its first 5 months than the 360 did in 5 months. Keep in mind that the PS3 just launched in Europed where as the 360 did worldwide launch, so the PS3 hasn't been available very long in Europe. Also the PS3 launched with competition of the Wii and 360.. All at a higher price point as well

Goat, nevermind any of that, PS3 is still failing!





At least that's what everyone else is saying.
