This was not picked up in the september Edge magazine thread but Edge has an article about MS attempts to get a foothold in europe and the problems they face, anyway dotted around the article are 3 tables which when used together can be used to extrapolate the two consoles sales as at 31 December 07.

First of all at 31 Dec 07 in Continental Europe (ie not including the UK/Ireland) the first chart states that the 360 had sold 2.4m and the PS3 2.26m by that date.

Pie chart 1 states that 55% of european 360 sales of are in the UK/Ireland compared to 45% in the rest of europe giving a total figure at the end of december07 of 5.33m

Pie chart 2 states that 28% of PS3 sales are in the UK/Ireland compared to 72% in the rest of Europe meaning total PS3 sales in Europe of 3.14m 

Therefore at the end of 2007 in Europe the 360 was beating the PS3 5.33m to 3.14m or rather a lead of 2.1m units according to the data Edge used (Screen Digest).
