Xbox360: 11.3 M vs PS3: 9.90 M is a 14% difference. With 14 months of headstart being the only next gen console and much lower price? Yes, it means that something is wrong for the x360 image. If the situation was reversed and Sony had a headstart I think we would be looking at a much bigger gap in its favour. Have a look at the chart: only the last price cut saved the xbox in others from being left behind. |
No no NO ! Headstart didn't helped in EU.
XBOX brand was basically nothing in Europe before the 360.
It is only now, with this gen, that we are seeing changes agains't the Playstation brand in EU.
Sales Wise, the 360 is doing ok in EU cause it is going head to head with PS3 and IMO it was not initally forseen by MS.
In BE, I see more and more people shifting to the 360 (from PS2 to 360 I mean), because it is becoming a brand in EU as well.
Bottom line, 360 doesn't dominate (I don't think it will) EU in general but has severly damaged the ex-domination of Sony. 
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
