Wow it happened sooner than I thought.....

Maybe you should read this article on gamedaily. They say Sony included more than only Europe in that number and are talking about shipped numbers. All in all they're probably pretty close to each other regardless of which definition you use.

Recently we posted a story featuring comments from both Sony and Microsoft about who's winning the console battle in Europe. Interestingly, both companies seemed to claim the lead in the region, but upon closer inspection it appears that the confusion – as we suspected – stems from how Sony defines Europe.

As was stated in the previous story, for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, the region is actually defined by "the whole of Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia."

GameDaily BIZ has now heard back from Microsoft and it's clear that their definition of Europe is much more straightforward.

"The issue of Europe comes through a difference in defining what Europe represents. Microsoft defines Europe as just Europe, whereas Sony defines Europe as the whole of Europe, Africa, Middle East and Russia. Microsoft counts 22 countries total for Europe and we count sold through units only, where we count the number of units sold through to consumers. Sony includes PAL countries within their definition of Europe and sold in units, where they count the number of units sold to retailers," a spokesperson said.

So who's really winning Europe? Well in terms of installed base, and going by Microsoft's definition, it seems that the Xbox 360 does indeed have the lead, thanks in part to a recent price drop and a sales bump from the release of GTA IV. That said, the Sony brand has historically been very strong in Europe and with hot titles like Metal Gear Solid 4 and LittleBigPlanet in the pipeline, Microsoft will have a tough fight on its hands in a region that it's admitted is a "swing territory."

European domination seems to have been delayed by one week due to adjustments. Domination begins two weeks from now.

Brand name is the key word here

cool

Just by launch of MGS4, who would know. =))
Though, Sony was saying, that they already outsold x360.. well anyway, now it will be and on VG. =]

You are my new hero! Yeah, screw the 360!

ZOMG!!! NEXT WEEK PEOPLE!!!

The PS3 is 20K behind but outsold the 360 by 25K last week. So European domination is scheduled for next week.
