Xbox 360 outselling PS3 in the UK

chart-track.jpgThat's a fact, although actual numbers have not been released. UK thing-sales-counter Chart Track says Nintendo's Wii is outselling PlayStation3 by a margin of 6:1, while it's only outselling Xbox 360 by a margin of 4:1.

So Eurogamer's news story is actually mainly about Wii kicking the arses off everything else by a mile, but it's nice to know that even with the new PS3 "value" pack including a couple of free games, Xbox 360's holding its own in the UK.

Now we just need a decent Xbox 360 price cut to kick it up another notch and oust the Sony menace from gaming for good.

The article is misleading people because when they say it's outselling the PS3 4 to 1 they actually mean it's sold four times as many in total (because its been on sale 18 months longer).

It's currently being outsold by the PS3 which has been in the video game top 10 on Amazon.co.uk for the last month yet the 360 isnt even in the top 100.

The eurogamer article says it is each week.
"Currently the console is outselling the 360 in the UK by over four to one, and the PS3 by more than six to one each week."
You can see clearly that the 360 outsells the PS3. Amazon?????? Didn't know it represents all sales of the UK!

"You can see clearly that the 360 outsells the PS3"

Where exactly can you 'clearly see' that its currently outselling the PS3 in the UK?

I've shown you evidence that it isn't but you have chosen to ignore it. Where is your evidence to the contrary?

In the last month the PS3 has outsold the 360 in every region in the world.

I was following the article & not your lousy Amazon.co.uk-response.
Wii four to one - > 360
Wii six to one - > PS 3
Do the math.

@Jason

Chart Track is the official sales data collector in the UK, Amazon has never been an accurate source, i'm sorry if the true picture is not want you want to believe but I guess it's hard being a Sony fanboy.
