EA are going further though, they are expecting the PS3 to sweep the 360 aside in Europe and if all the PS3 games come out as planned that is exactly what Sony are going to do. Completely annihilate the 360 in Europe.

Outside of the UK. Wheras the PS2 demolished the Xbox in the EU, I don't think the PS3's marketshare in Europe could ever be as strong simply because the UK is the largest market in the EU and its 360-heavy.

I expect perhaps 60/40 sales in favor of the PS3 or perhaps 66/33. We'll see, though.

By the end of the year UK will be spilt between the PS3/360 but the rest of Europe won't be, they will heavily favor PS3. You see, the thing about the UK that makes them the largest is they are supporting all platforms and not just one but the rest of Europe don't seem to be following that rule. Places like France, Italy, Spain and Germany which make up a lot of Europe will heavily favor the PS3. If UK were rejecting the PS3 than you would have a point but the UK are showing the PS3 just as much love as the 360.

If I am wrong I will gladly eat crow but games like Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid 4 etc.. are very big in the UK and they will move a lot of systems for the PS3 there.
