The Xbox One is a MAJOR FLOP in mainland Europe (6,697 units sold post-price cut). We need to talk about this.

Doubt it people in mainland Europe probably want a Kinectless X1 more then all the other reason. Games are pretty high all over mainland Europe so you want to save as much money as possible on the console so that you can actual afford some games.

Sony has been dominating Europe for almost 20 years in video game business, even the PS3 will end up outselling Wii and 360 there

I also noticed that the poll above is almost a perfect reflection of the sales ratio in "Europe minus UK", the 2014-05-17 week, which is

-> 2014-05-17

PS4 : 37021
XB1 : 4757

this is an almost 8-to-1 ratio, or more precisely, 88.6% vs 11.4% between PS4 and XB1

Playstation 5 vs XBox Series Market Share Estimates

Regional Analysis (only MS and Sony Consoles)
Europe => XB1 : 23-24 % vs PS4 : 76-77%
N. America => XB1 : 49-52% vs PS4 : 48-51%
Global => XB1 : 32-34% vs PS4 : 66-68%

Thus PS4 is the clear and only choice.

Buy it get Plus enjoy all the free games, enjoy all the FtP games. Enjoy your consoles controller giving you rechargable batteries and ability to plug in whatever the hell headset you want with out buying adapters addons which together cost as much as a new game. the more cost concious a market the more PS4 looks like the better buy.

Jesus Christ, if that's not a slaughter I don't know what is. Do you have a ratio for current PS3 vs 360 sales in Europe minus UK?

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I will get one eventually but I live in the US where games a cheap to dirt cheap depending on how long they been released. Right now besides Infamous: Second Son the PS4 has nothing else that I would be interested in and PS Plus on the PS4 right now is pretty weak since they don't have any full retail games they can add it yet, it might be better in a couple of more years but it might never get as good as it on the PS3. Also the next game I'm really looking forward to is Horizon 2 and that isn't on the PS4 either.

Cool but this aint about you or NA.

Its mainland Europe, and its expensive games over there. And people here thinking markets like Poland slovakia Greece what not will help X1 at all. Markets that are hella price concious thus my replay saying PS4 is the clear choice for them.
