Playstation 3 ahead of 360 in Europe
Darren Waters, a writer for the BBC has said that Playstation 3 overtaking Xbox 360 in Europe will make it uncomfortable for Microsoft.
“I’ve been chatting with games consultant Nick Parker, who told me that it was “no surprise” that the PS3 is now ahead of the 360.”
Despite the PS3’s bad launch and 360 being available 16 months before PS3, the PlayStation brand has stayed strong enough in Europe to see off the Microsoft machine.
“Nick Parker believes Microsoft’s inability to widen the appeal of the Xbox 360 beyond the hardcore male gamer has been its undoing.”
Sony is doing better than the 360 in Japan and now Europe, that leaves America. Since Blu-Ray won the next-generatin format war, sales of the PS3 in America have outsold the 360 on a weekly basis. Sony is catching up quickly.
