I will also note that it is kind of hard to categorize Europe as a single coherent entity. Indeed, in the UK Xbox does reasonably well. However, here in Spain Xbox (other than briefly at the 360's peak) is almost non-existent and Playstation is almost synonymous with video games as a whole. Even the Vita sold decently in Spain! And in Eastern Europe if I am not mistaken PC gaming is still king over consoles.
So you can't do a quick explanation and can't really use "Europe" as a coherent entity.
