They're not though. Multiple countries in Europe you can get an Xbox at any time and don't pretend the series S doesn't count.

europe being "sony land" didnt come from nowhere. the brand truly is dominant over there. when you look at the gap between playstation and xbox in uk and us, it isnt that big. yet the total gap between them is massive. its comes from all the european countries adding up. outside of xbox being cheaper and getting fifa on gamepass at launch, im not sure what else they could do to change perception.

If MS has a blank cheque they should just buy Sony.

PS5 sold more than PS4, Switch, Xbox Series, and Xbox One combined?

There are two things Euros want right now: a COVID vaccine and a PS5.
There is a sale on Playstation store which makes it £20 cheaper than buying physical in the UK at big stores like GAME. It's even £7 cheaper than amazon who usually try to price match better. I don't think it will be top 40 in most places. It was hovering outside the top 20 before the sale anyway.

I see a hotukdeal at Monstershop only. Can't say I've heard of them and I'm from the UK but good on them for going lower than the store. Anecdotal but I'd rather just pay the £3 extra and get it digital (can game share too) than sign up for monstershop.

Playstation will outsell Xbox even if it's a 2TFLOPs console with no exclusives.

Last time I made a joke similar do this - 2 days ago, I had 6 fanboys attacking me here. I hope you’re well!
The argos deal was a steal, damn missed out on it. Still 3Weeks, 4 weeks, 1 Month ago pre owned. The UK charts are weekly charts so only a retail sale last week would affect it in any way not those hotukdeals from weeks ago.Here’s the regularly mate, just type in TLOU 2 in to the HotUkDeals search bar.

Yes charging full price for ports of old games and charging alot for weak as hardware that is usually a generation behind your competition will do this to your bank account.
It's a free market after all.
Good game = good words of mouth = good sales

Isnt that pretty much the all switch library? What are the others 27 games
Woopah

The Switch has been out over four years, thinking it only has 13 games is ridiculous.
There are 14 more games in that top 40 that are on Switch, so just looking at that chart will help you find a big chunk of the 27 other games you want.

They seem perfectly rational to me, they get the console with steady supply of excellent games, not useless theoretical GPU power. And the funny thing, PS5 is actually performing better than XSX at technical face offs more cases than not lol.
So people are actually wise to get PS5. Also the DE at $399
best deal in gaming right now

Notice how all the recent news, attention isnt focused on face offs but games. The most active threads right now have very lil to do with specs, TF or face offs. And a couple of DF analysis did happen during this time.They seem perfectly rational to me, they get the console with steady supply of excellent games, not useless theoretical GPU power.

That should tell ppl games might matter a wee bit more than TF.

People need to realize that in many parts of the 
, PS is not in competition with anyone, just like Nintendo. Playstation is synonymous with gaming or game console. It doesn’t matter what’s in Microsoft’s box or what service they offer, people just don’t register it. I can tell you first hand because I live there.
Not until Microsoft gets rights for UEFA Champions League will they ever be able to make a dent and that’s why Sony is so jealously guarding it.

I was almost called a lunatic last week that I said about the Europe market, now I stand corrected. Not that it was much of a prediction or an educated guess, the truth is out there for anyone without green tinted glasses.

That most people outside of our gaming forum bubbles don't consider Xbox as a potential purchase for gaming in Europe, the brandname is really weak compared to Nintendo and PlayStation, it's almost certain that if a casual buys an Xbox is because they couldn't secure one of the other 2.
In my home market it's like that, I know for a fact Italy as well, Spain, even northern European countries are the same.
It's just that, Xbox didn't establish it's name in the average Europeans brain, and I guess it's not due to the value proposition but due to the difference in culture between Europe and USA and the end product.

I'd say that's pretty fair. Xbox was never able to build up it's brand in continental Europe in the same way as it did in the UK.

They don't have the money.
Sony would be worth over 200B$, lowest value.
500B in the next few years based on how Stock has grew substantially.
It's basically impossible to buy, & it's Japanese which makes it even harder.

Bravely Default doesn't surprise me but Olive Town does. Maybe the Harvest Moon IP still holds a lot of weight in Germany?
