From the article:

In the UK, we’ve sold more than double PS3’s volume since the price drop in September.

“I would call out our success in the Mediterranean countries in the last few weeks as a genuine step change from where we’ve been. The investment we’ve made in the right campaigns, the right price point and content that truly appeals to those markets.

“In Italy, we were double PS3’s sales last week. In France and Germany we are at or better than PS3 consistently now. We dominate in Russia and the Nordic countries and in Spain – a traditional Sony stronghold – we’re now outselling PS3. It bodes incredibly well for our Christmas prospects."

Completed XBLA: 16 / 32
Completed Retail: 17 / 64

Is this true? I mean, it's a little hard to believe that MS is outselling Sony 2:1 in that continent.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

@Zen
2:1 is a huge jump, so it's a case of either 360 is undertracked or PS3 is over tracked. With all the ajustments 360 has gone through lately, I'm more inclinded to believe VGChart's numbers then one M$ news statement.

But then I'm still not impressed, it's less then half the cost. Heck, it's cheaper then the Wii. Outsell the Wii M$, then I'll be impressed.



Hmm, pie.
