If only they would reduce the price of the game, because it's horribly overpriced in the euro-zone. For example, 70 euro for comdemned 2=111$us!

The majority of the new pc game are around 20 to 40 euro. If you buy 10 pc game over 10 xbox game, you will save enought to buy a new computer.

ouch for cows who said the 360 was dead in Europe. Kinda like when Lems said the PS3 was done when it was 600. See price does make a difference. Obviously with an attach rate of 7.0 to the 360 in Europe, I think this is Lems town. OUCH...

Regardless of the final sales, the 360 is selling better than XBOX with no major price reductions, selling much more software, is cheaper to produce and getting even cheaper soon and MOST importantly is pulling a profit

Yeppers, it's not breaking any records just a nice steady pace that MS can deal with hence, why the price has not moved much in over two years !

Now, when they drop the price by 100.00 - look out man as this will do wonders but when - I dunno. ;)

What happened to "The Shortages!!" X360 must have been doing horrible in Europe. Because even with double sales they still can't keep up with PS3 and Wii.

oh so 2 360s were sold this month :P j/k

nah seriosuly its good to see....MS were getting very sluggish over here. MSs complete lack of pushing the console here is still a problem for the platform though. they also failed to inform anyone of the price cut....it was up to retailers to do MSs job.

cmon MS...get some adds out...back some big events. do something.

Doing "not so good" to "OK" isnt much of an improvement.

I will agree it seems a bit odd.

Maybe they miss Peter Moore or they are saving it up for something big. :)

life to date: 360 has a year and a half advantage on the PS3 in PAL regions and he was talking about recent hardware sales not revenue.

LOL hope so, the XBOX sold the majority of its units at its lowest price, and at the same time was eating away at MS money as it cost them so much to produce
