I have said it since 2006 that Microsoft should spend more money on Europe then Japan. They have wasted too much money on Japan.

What left can they do to win europe

a. Reduce the price again (not a good option)

b. Produce a redesigned console and get several independent labs to verify it is bulletproof

c. Produce more European-focused games

d. Heavy marketing in Europe

They really need to do b, c, and d, IMHO.

Perfectly agreed crumas2. I don't think they should decrease the price again, that would make them look desperate, and there's no reason for it as sales aren't bad at all (even though PS3 is still ahead). The other options would all help the 360 greatly.

b is possible ie slimline. euro games, I am not sure what you mean I am European and have no problem with the 360 catalouge.
