NickdeBruyne: The way I am feeling now, I really wish that my Mr. Delivery driver is driving some sort of Supercar or Superbike. Ignore the red lights! 18 minutes ago from Chromed Bird

I was checking through the latest European software sales and I have to say that they are a mess… We have had some fantastic games released lately and they are just not getting the attention they deserve.
The fantastic Battlefield Bad Company only shipped 31,218 (360) or 21,355 (PS3) in it’s third week.
MGS 4 sales are down to 51,756 in the last week which is far lower than I would have expected seeing that it has only shipped 884,567 in total in Europe so far.
Though the big win for the PS3 is a little further down in the list. Europe was always going to be a major GTA battleground and by the look of it the PS3 has taken this one.
Right now the current sales sit at
PS3 – 2,193,728 360 – 1,919,583
And with the PS3 version outselling the 360 week on week at the moment it is becoming safe to say that while the race was close the PS3 won.
I’m not surprised. Many people bought PS3s because they loved the GTA franchise on the PS2. The game was pre-ordered before they could see the 360/PS3 comparision feature on their favourite gaming website/blog.
I don’t think it will be ground breaking, but it will still be Duke. Maybe...

Possibly, the stats were not out when I wrote this…
I just took a quick look and it seems that the 360 version is still outselling the PS3 version in the States
