If you think the Xbox one is having a rough time here then how do you think it's doing in Europe?

The Amazon gifted pages for Germany should tell you. Have a look for the first Xbox one item and report back.

Everyone knows that Xbox is only popular in NA.

Rest of the world doesn't like that crap.

I think it's the NSA now but even if that was true you have GTA5 on 360 at number 10 and not a single Xbox one game or bit of hardware in the top 100.

Nah, I know. I just thought it was funny.

If I was German I'd hate the Xbox as well.

Well clearly people buying an Xbox One have more money so they'll wrap the item themselves instead of having Amazon write a shitty little note in it, duhhh.

Lol if MS think the 'muricans are gonna stick with them just because they held onto NA for this current gen. Sony had it before and it was taken from them just as fast as MS are gonna lose it this time round.

'Muricans go with popularity

Japanese go with Sony consoles/ninty handhelds always and forever

Europe goes with whatever has the best games. Because we have excellent taste in gaming (which explains the sony domination)

You do realize every single one of America's allies also spies on America correct?

The NSA simply got embarrassed with its hand in the cookie jar.

A South American official was quoted as saying, "My country would do it as well, we simply don't have the resources or technology".

It's not so much anger at the fact that NSA is doing it...it's anger that the NSA has so much more resources/tech with which to spy.

Nothing is going to change. It simply looks good for politicians to be seen on TV saying things like "I believe in privacy" and "the NSA has gone too far".

The fact remains that what people will tolerate far LESS than invasion of privacy, whether they will admit it or not, is another large scale terrorist attack like 9/11. So far, in the past 12 years, there hasn't been one on American soil.

If you know another method that is just as effective at preventing a potential attack, give the NSA a call. They would love to hear from you.

Meh, from personal experience there's really a noticeable difference. Most people do indeed game on PC. About every gamer I know owns one. A lot of people also do have a PS3 though. Don't know a single person except myself who owns an XBox. Paying for online really killed it here. Having to pay for online on PS4 now probably won't change much, It's already too late to get the "I don't want an XBox" out of peoples' heads.

That's even more alarming, to have a pro-xbox nation to to undergo renaissance and embrace the PS4.

They never had a pro-xbox nation,Germany is one of the biggest PC markets in the world,the PC dominates there over any system both digitally and retail,the same gos for many other EU countries.

The list is full of shit and so are you for posting it, according to it, there are more PS3s in UK than 360s which is completely false, as there are 8.5m Xbox 360s sold there, while PS3 sold a bit over 5m. Yet the chart says something exact the opposite. The fact that you shout the loudest, doesn't make your opinion any bit valid.

And you can look up PS3 sales figure in UK yourself.

What are we looking at here? A bunch of PS4/PS3 games and some PS4 hardware. Who cares? Buy the systems that have the games you want to play.

Mine (which was from my Dad) is a 2001 Golf. The only real downside is that it "drinks" way too much :P It does an average of 6,2 l/100 km, for a car it's size I think it's a lot. Still other than that the car feels great.

The engine works like a charm, the interior while simple is super functional, the handling is top notch...plus it's got that VW swag hehe :P

Really glad I inherited it :)

Fords are, as far as I know, usually pretty reliable cars but I don't know...they just seem to lack a certain charm most of the times. When I say this I mean their regular car line which us regular humans can afford :P They've been getting better though. The lastest Focus and Fiesta look awesome!!

I learnt to drive in a 2012 model Fiesta and I loved it. But mine is a bit of a money pit. 6 months after buying it, the clutch bearing was wearing out that cost me £300 to fix, whole new clutch assembly etc. I recently had to have it MOT'd where it cost me £50 as the lights were below the legal limit. Still, I love my Fizzy Ford.

Ah, that sucks. Exactly why I feel lucky for inheriting a car from my family. At least I knew before hand it had been well taken care of :P

I learnt to drive a in a Citroen C3 which had probably been very abused by previous students XD Using reverse was a 50/50 chance of it working or not, you could turn the steering wheel some 20-25 degrees to either side before the car actually started turning, any slight incline would require you to reduce to 1st gear no matter how fast you were going into it..lol good times.

At least it forced me to really learn how to drive, whether I wanted to or not lol

Ouch.
