Xbox 360 sells over 9 million in Europe

by David Hinkle 

The Xbox 360 has reached a milestone in Europe, having recently surpassed nine million console sales in the region. Microsoft's Chris Lewis confirmed the figure to MCV, stating that the console now has "about 27 per cent of the current share of the console market." For those of you keepng score at home, that's about a million consoles sold since January.

In fact, Microsoft also boasted that it's the only console to show growth in the region, pointing to the downward slope in sales of the PS3 and Wii. "This calendar year, we're the only console showing positive growth. That's 22 per cent on the first half against a market that is down to a similar margin overall." In fact, there are so many Xbox 360s in Europe now, you could probably build a 15 foot wall around Liechtenstein ... twice.

They sure are improving on the userbase of the original Xbox.

As far as I know, VG doesn't just track Europe. "Others" includes other regions besides Europe as well.

Ah, you're right. I tend to always forget that because no other market is significant compared to Europe... bar Australia.

Actually not really considering that it's been selling 30,000-50,000 in others every weeks since January...that's pretty much right....
