If you shop around in the uk the xbox360 pro is the same price as the Wii.

Considering whole of Europe is on here posting anti-360 and hoping 360 fails to sell I'm not surprised its having a hard time getting market share in Europe.

Uhu, sure, every European here is against the Xbox...

Every American is pro-Xbox too....

not every American.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Sony's been marketing hardware in Europe for decades and they know how to do it. MS on the other hand is clueless - they pretty much treat the whole of Europe as one single country marketing wise and that couldn't be further from the truth.

Also, not all of Europe is here posting anti-360. I am European, Spaniard no less... albeit it's not that I'm anti-this or pro-that, it's just that I enjoy gaming.

well I can say a lot of people overseas have stuck with the playstation since the 90s and am sure some (a minority but can add up to quite a bit) buy it cause of the brand name....

I have a friend who I sold my ps2 to, and I got a 360 a few months later, he plans to send me money to buy him a console (he doesn't work so hes saving up slowly lol)..I told him right now the 360 is much cheaper and has more games to choose from....but he doesn't care he just wants a ps3 (won't argue with him thats his choice its a great console anyways).....it seems he had no reason other than its a playstation and thats all hes had (hes had no history with the xboxs)...

so ya thats one of the reasons the 360 could be doing a lil weak in europe...could be a lot others...

I retract my generalization...Europeans love all systems. :)
