MS has won, plain and simple. Why ? because evene it it get outsold by ps3 in 2008, it has already a big part of the pie.
Sony went this gen with a trackrecord of 70% marketshare. a 35% market share or 50% even is not that good, from where they are coming.
Anyway, here in EU, ps3 is very big.
The main thing is that EU is becoming the #1 market, in $$$.
At the rate of 1.4 USD = 1 Euros, you need to sell 1.4x the amount in US to match EU sales.
I think a lot of publishers will see that. With ps3 leading the way in the marketplace with the highest margins, it may change some decisions (like what should be the leading dev platform ?).
