1up: Developers Concerned Over Europe 360 Sales

Amidst discussions of the rumoured price drop from Sony in the 1up studio, developers reveal that 360 software sales in Europe, outside the UK, are "tanking" to the extreme point that publishers and developers are considering to not even release games in Europe outside the UK, much like how Infinity Ward are rumoured to be releasing CoD4: Modern Warfare only on the PlayStation 3 in Asia.

The statement is at 01:44:45 in the podcast

PS3 and 360 sales are about even for 2007 in Europe. This is sad since the PS3 is more expensive and doesn't have as good games as the 360 does right now.Zero5000X

U would think GS mods would figure it out by now...

If it means stronger support for me in the UK I'd be very happy, they already put Sony and Nintendo to shame in this area when it comes to supporting gamers.

I'm sorry rest of europe but why should I have to wait months to a year for a game already in english (the language my people created), just so it can be translated into every other european language first before being able to play it?

its sad because the 360 should be selling way more than the PS3, not about the same.

Europe is casual land, Sony just filled that gap the last two gen's. Now the Wii is doing it.

The Europeans don't like the 360 because it's a foreign product and that they are racist.Dencore

I was under the impression Europe loved America :)

The entire world seems to be the land of the Wii now.

Then you guys might as well leave the EU, amirite?

Paktahn

Who told you that? Who cares if they're culture is influenced by America or that many American movies, sports, and music is popular there. They will by all those things but when it comes to gaming consoles they won't because people there are nationalistic and hate America.

Isn't Europe the largest PC gaming market? Face it, absolutely all consoles are casual. That's their purpose; easy gaming fun for the casuals. The PC on the other hand isn't that easy...

i never said the 360 didn't currently have better games. only an idiot couldn't tell that. my point is that PS3 and 360 sales are equal in Europe whereas the 360 is cheaper and has better games. dont you see a problem here? shouldnt the console with better games be outselling the console with worse games? if the sales are even now, imagine how they will be once the PS3 gets its good games.

Maybe it is because the 360 has so many hardware problems and faults developing quickly for many owners.

Yes it is... Where I live loads of people have a PS3...
