It seems Xbox 360 dominance, even in the lead up to Christmas seems to be ending. It has never been so close before. Just 20000 between the two!

In its 2 strongest regions it is dominating the competition.  The problem is they didn't price cut Europe hence the lower demand.  Either way its clear Microsoft are happy with their market share as its all about profitability for them.  

You mean UK and US right? Well you're wrong.

It is NOT "dominating" in the UK.
It is in the US.

Keep telling yourselves that, it is consistently out selling it weekly and for the year and will soon by in the number one spot.  If you don't like what I have to say then just don't reply, certainly not with a curt response with no evidence of why I'm "wrong".  Thanks.

Fine. I'll explain to you why the Xbox 360 isn't dominatin the UK. Simply outselling the PS3 doesn't mean it is "dominating".  Right now there's like barely a 10k difference in 360s favor. A few weeks ago during the AC3 launch, PS3 outsold 360......

Yes, 360 is winning in the UK. Dominating? Far from it. PS3 is very much going head to head with the 360.

In the US you could say the 360 is dominating, and you would be right. It's been the best selling console for like 23(?) months straight there.

Nice try though.

The PS3 has had a price cut and new model In the UK but cannot outsell the 360 more than a odd week  so yes in my opinion its dominating the PS3.  When did the PS3 last win a month in the UK?

If by a "price cut" you mean an increased price, then you're right, it got a price cut.

 

To tell the truth I don't get it why you guys even include UK in your arguments. This country is so small that there is just no point doing it. Talk about Europe, not just one strange European (or is it?) country. Selling more in such a small market doesn't really mean a thing. You can as well be separately talking about sales in Germany, Italy, France, Spain or Poland, but it's just pointless. I think we should stick to Japan, US and Europe.
