LinkSince Sony stopped reporting the regional shipment breakdown on their corporate site the PAL figures are always welcome, as are the global PS2 & PSP figures. A few rounding errors had added up to put the previous cumulative totals off by a few hundred thousand.
Last week Microsoft announced the Xbox 360 had
passed 9m in Europe. unfortunately Microsoft's EMEA region* does not include Oceania so a direct comparison to Sony's PAL region isn't possible. It's also not clear if the non-European EMEA countries of South Africa and UAE were included in the 9m figure or not.
With sell through figures for Australia, New Zealand and South Africa it's possible to make some rough estimates for Xbox 360 PAL shipments;
Europe: 9.0m
Oceania: 0.8m (
Estimated)
South Africa: 0.1m (
Estimated)
UAE: 0.1m (Guestimated)
PAL Total: ~10m
It seems that Xbox 360 and PS3 are neck and neck in the PAL region.
*Edit* Microsoft have since clarified that that their 9m figure is sold to consumer, and not shipped to retail so the actual shipped figure would be somewhat higher than 10m.
*Microsoft's EMEA region includes: UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Hungary, Slovakia, South Africa, and UAE
