With over 300,000 * copies sold on the market hexagonal PlayStation Move says its success on its competitor.
"The PS3 is the platform that makes the biggest overall turnover and the highest growth rate across all platforms, including handhelds. It confirms its absolute leadership in the French market and more specifically on the console market in high-definition vis-à-vis the X Box 360. We will exceed the 3 million PS3 in France by the end of the fiscal year or the end of March 2011 and can already announce that the PS3 is and will remain leader in 2011, "said Georges Fornay, CEO SCE France and Senior Vice President of SCE Europe.

Lol , i love how sony doesn't mention ps3' current userbase, just what the userbase will be....after 3 months !!! (end of March). Also it's great that kinect has already a much bigger userbase in one of sony's strongest markets compared to move (since 300k move wands sold = userbaser lower than 300k) in like half the time (2 months vs. 4 months).
Anyway the difference between the 360 and the ps3 in France doesn't seem that great to me (2.2 million 360s sold) and France is the second biggest european market and one of the markets that are supposed to give the ps3 an edge in Europe (along with Spain, Germany and Italy) against xbox360 U.K domination.
