In the UK there is lots of marketing for the 360. The UK console market is currently the biggest in the EU by quite a margin and the 360 is doing very well in this market which is why it is beating the PS3 currently in "Others".

Cant speak for the rest of EU.

I diagree. Here in the UK the recent half head 360 adds are played probably 8:1 over any PS3 add at all. Also There is a Gears 2 midnight launch in Plymouth. Same as Halo 3. It's advertised even in the local paper.

Well it is good news then ! Except for Belgium ....

France, close to Paris, big cinema
Hellboy2 movie, before the film, Gears of War2 advertissement (the one with the "love" song)

At TV, ads frequence

For 1 PS3 ad :

3 Xbox360 ad

10 Wii ad

... that is called marketing, it is not extremely efficient, but it is HERE !

i have figured out how microsoft can win europe. make a 360 with obama's face on it.

I can't really comment on marketing and the like for the EU (as I live in the US)....but wouldn't the Netflix situation have to lie more on their part than Microsoft's? I know the head of Netflix has a very close relationship with MS but ultimately I would think allowing streaming services outside of the US would fall on them. Maybe I'm wrong but that would make the most sense to me.

You haven't seen the newest 360 exclusive yet have you?

they bundle with that and and they sell out first 15 minutes

I doubt they would just let SONY have their way there, perhaps they are just not trying as hard as they could?? SONY's way on EU is pretty strong, and hard to top, perhaps that has something to do with it?

Dgc1808,

the full price drop push is not enought for you ?

I believe it is more a question of Brand as I m stating since 2 years ...

Same go for UK/US where the PS3 is still not dead and is selling pretty well.
