1 million more PS3's sold in Europe than Xbox 360's

Well well well for a console half the price and the fact that PS3 was further delayed in Europe you would think that 360 would be leading drastically but it turns out that PS3 is in fact leading in Europe, by 1 million. Now you may think it's not much but everything that is going for 360 I have to admit I am mighty impressed, now with the confrmation of the slim PS3 and price cut the 1 million lead will only grow.

It is possible that Sony has included more regions than Microsoft, such as Australia (which is in the PAL region), but as soon as we know more, we'll let you know.

I guess you forgot to read your link...

How can it be over 27 million PSN users when only 23 million PS3s have been sold? lol, owned.

Well Japan was a given, but I'm surprised that Sony has the lead in Europe.clubsammich91

Sony is spinning, they are including more regions then MS did.

There's about 20 million people living in Australia so it won't make that much of a difference. It's no surprise that the PS3 is more popular here in Europe.

Dude I cou'd help but notice you're sig and the fact it doesn't hold any weight. The analogy doesn't work, PSN maybe free but in certain aspects its much better then theXBL since it has dedicated servers for most games, Not as restricted for developers and no limit on download games. You're analogy makes it seem like PSN is broken and unplayable.

Back on topic. Doesn't MS consider Australia in the PAL territory? I wasn't aware of that but that doesn't change the fact that though PS3 was further delayed in Europe and with half the price of 360 it should have been common knowledge that 360 is killing PS3 in Europe like it is in America but unfortunately that is'nt the case. What is common though is that Europe is Sony land, lol. The slim plus price cut will only cement PS3's victory over 360 in Europe....

And Sony has rewarded Europe with no real price cut by charing 300 euros for the slim. I'm done with Sony now, I've bought my last ever Sony product, no more.

It went from €399,- to €299,- here in the Netherlands, so I don't know what you're talking about. Our price cut is even biggah!

It has. I already have proven Sony added Australia and other PAL regions and MS just counted Europe. Ending the argument. It's Sony spin coupled with more speculation...

Australia is a fairly small market. It won't make that big of a difference.

Maybe your heads on wrong, but you do know that microsoft is ahead in sales nationally right?

take another 36% off the 360 tally dude, according to game informer that's the percent that are folks buying new 360s after RROD

and yet still hasn't closed the 8 million + gap...

I live in Europe and a PS3 for 300 euro is a 70 euro price-drop where I live.

Small correction. PSN has dedicated servers for about ... 8 games. Areyou claiming that he PS3 only has 17 games, as you did say most games had dedicated servers.

Xbox Live allows for dedicated severs, and about 5 Xbox games use them, that's hardly a difference ...

On-Topic, MS treats Europe like crap compared to the US, so i'd expect the PS3 to outsell the Xbox,

It includes PSP users, which I suspect are a larger portion of that number (i have a PSP myself).

I also think that many users have multiple accounts on PS3. They are free, afterall.

Well UK is the biggest single market in EU if you count the countries in EU one by one but it doesn't win in size by a long-shot if you would compare the rest of Europe to UK.

MS might win UK but that doesn't say much if it doesn't win in any other country in EU.

I guess you're right, but atleast SONY don't hype features up which can only be used in America.

Speculation - the act of guessing based on future events,

The price cut just happened and hasn't been enacted, so stating the sales are rising due to it is speculation...
