Xbox 360 Europe sales 50% higher than PS3

[wemysst2]

I'm here in ireland and these are the prices of the ps3 (60gb) and teh xbox 360 premium (20gb)

Xbox 360 with one game (AAA title): 350 euro

PS3 with one (AAA) title and one other title along with an extra controller:599 euro

Just for you americans out there to relise how much we are getting raped, the exchange rate is 1 dollar 35 for every euro so knock yourself out to figure out how much we have to pay. It is also worth mentioning that here in europe the emotion engine has been taken out of the PS3 (open for correction) and the 360 comes with hdmi cables while the ps3 does not, another 40 euro for hdmi cables. there is also a problem with the selection of games for the PS3. But i suppose the ps3 is doing very well considering all of these factors. However once Halo 3 comes out and the buzz around it, it might be a hard christmas and spring for sony. Sonys real chance are when some of its AAA titles come out next year. I am open for correction on any of these points, but it shows the disregard that sony seems to show europe, compared with america or japan.
