Forums - Sales - Micorosft: Mission accomplished America

....... yes

When asked if the battle between the PS3 and the 360 was now decided in the US, Lewis said Microsoft has "done the job we need to in North America", and that the company would focus more effort on increasing the 360's lead over the PS3 in Europe.

Lewis, speaking in an interview with 360 magazine, also admitted that Microsoft had made mistakes in its previous approach to the European videogame market, saying that a single marketing strategy couldn't be applied to the whole continent.

"It's a very textured region," said Lewis. "You've got places like the UK and the Nordic countries...where we've been able to apply our more North American approach to those markets with genuine success."

"In the sunnier parts of Europe we did have relatively less success up until the last 12 months where I think we have better understood the need to go to those markets with more appropriate content," he added.

What're going to do Microsoft...... What????

Someone was going to do it.

Edit: I see he didn't actually say that phrase though. Nor is that the title. Are you mocking Microsoft?


This news is not new. They said a while back they would be focusing more on pushing forward in Europe



They're right really.

The Xbox 360 has owned the PS3 in Europe. The rankings there will never change. It's incredibly unlikely the PS3 will ever catch the Xbox 360 worldwide, though it may happen in Europe.

Yep, it's been long known the PS3 will come last in the console war worldwide.



The OP is a total mis-representation of what was said...M$ is simply saying they are executing well in the US and they are going to focus of Europe and apply that model where applicable...which is nowhere near saying "Mission Accomplished" like that former idiot president of ours.

360 will beat the PS3 in North America
PS3 will beat the 360 in Japan
PS3 will eventually beat the 360 in Other
