Microsoft STUFFED in Europe, Sony STUFFED in Japan.

Microsoft's situation in Europe is overwhelmingly better than Sony's (and Microsoft's) situation in Japan:

- They're still above the PS3 (although this will quickly stop being the case if MS doesn't break the current trend)
- Ignoring the competition, they're selling well enough for a console which no one expected to have any chance during this generation
- They still have many weapons at their disposal, especially GTA4 and price cuts

I believe it will be hard for the 360 to be above the PS3 in Europe at the end of the generation, but if Microsoft plays their cards correctly, the gap won't be too big. With a bit of luck, they could even still be on top at the end.

Didn't they say that about the ps3 when it came out? Hmmmmm
