To be fair, it's selling like hotcakes compared to last year. It's selling more than double on a regular basis vs. last year.

Europe (Feb-Jul):

2006: 767,000
2007: 785,260
2008: 1,827,000

Quite the difference, no?

 

More than doubled, not bad at all. Due to price drop mostly or was there some games that were really popular in Europe and exclusive to 360 that I missed?

The vast, if not entire, majority is the fact that the price drop has allowed the X360 to reach some sort of quasi-critical mass. European gamers (and I'm going to assume US too) aren't going to pay the kinds of money that MS/Sony are demanding for their systems. And both systems have been rewarded for dropping their prices.

Deep price cut + good games = 100%+ YOY increase. Would love to see that 100% YOY increase travel to the US this year too :)
