Nothing new since the only country the 360 is dominating (besides the Wii) is UK.

Vgchartz? Please, you can do better. Nobody has any accurate numbers for Europe (well, publicly).

It might be true but they are using VGchartz so i'd rather wait till we get something official.

It cant be 'the entire PAL territory' because the UK is a PAL region and the 360 dominates here.

Just proves that Americans are either very loyal to their country or very stupid. I'll with the first option for now. Seriously, it's the only region where 360 does so well.

Thats kind of old. Back in August the "high" priced PS3 phat had already passed 360 sales in Europe. Most likely the slim just increased the overall sales.

A sort of an offical link pointing back to August: http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/formats/playstation3/1-million-more-ps3-s-sold-in-europe-than-xbox-360-s-$1319732.htm

Go to the 'source' of the article http://www.vgchartz.com/ehweekly.php?date=40167and add up the numbers. They are wrong. If you total the numbers by the chart 360 has sold 13130343 while PS3 has sold 12045297. Yet the top total chart has different numbers. VGChartz is a joke. BTW, can someone post 'Other Europe' on a map?

Also, if you add up VGChartz's OWN numbers, the total they give is wrong, and by a pretty big margin. If they cant even add their own numbers up what hope do they have? I'd also like to know where they get their data from for the countries they call 'other Europe'. :roll:

It also dominates in the UK (besides the Wii) which is the 2nd biggest gaming market. Your point is stupid and racist anyway.

But did he clearly state that US citizens were stupid? No. He said its one or the other. And he picked that they were loyal.....sounds to me you didnt read the whole thing

Saying 'this item is selling well because you are either loyal or very stupid' is not a complement in any way whatsoever.

He still made reference to them possibly being stupid...that's still insulting if you ask me.

UK isn't second biggest gaming market anymore, it only was for a very short time. Germany is a bigger market than the UK now.

not really surprising, MS only has the US, thats why the 360 fanboys think NPD=World.InfiniteBlak
You win the US, you win the War (we're talkng PS3 vs. 360). No other region is more important. MSFT winning the US is what caused SE to make FFXIII go multiplat there. I realize that people who live all over the world don't like the sound of this, it comes off as US Elitism. And I'm sorry, but facts are facts. If you asked Sony today if they could change sale positions with MSFT, they'd take it in a second.

You know the reason why the rest of Europe 360 doesnt sell as well is not due to what cows think, which is that they have all made smart desicions. No, its due to the 360 not being marketed there, I dont even think the PS3 is either but everyone knows the Playstation name and I guess it is the same in Europe. They probably got PS3s without knowing what 360s are. As for the comment about Americans being loyal, the only country which is, is clearly Japan. I dont need to argue this, its pretty obvious.

I remember reading that Sony and Microsoft uses different countries for the PAL region. So if this console overtakes this console in this PAL region, it wouldn't be a fair comparison if the two are counting sales from completely different countries within the region.

UK. Second biggest gaming market in the world. 360 does very well indeed. ;)

UK isn't second biggest gaming market anymore, it only was for a very short time. Germany is a bigger market than the UK now.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/16/germany-becomes-top-games-market-in-europe/Update: Media Control GfK contacted GamesIndustry.biz to say that the data used in its press release was incorrect and that the UK remains the biggest gaming sector of the European market. Sorry for the confusion, folks!

I can give you a link saying you're wrong, wanna provide evidence you're right? UK has always been a larger gaming market than Germany. So as Dr Cox might say ... "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong ... You're wrong! You're wrong!" :)

EDIT as a sidenote Japan is the second biggest single country in terms of gaming but the UK is 2nd when it comes to the 360 & PS3. (Wii, DS & PSP much bigger in Japan - although PC gaming is much bigger in UK)
