Ricanelite360 Hits 7 Million in Europe
Microsoft Europe have today announced that the Xbox 360 - long (and still) the underdog in the European theatre of console conflict - has now sold seven million units across the continent. That's up from five million in June, showing anyone who couldn't figure it out for themselves that when you cut the price of a console twice in six months, lots more people will buy it. Those with an interest in PR exuberance, you'll love the accompanying quote from MS Europe's David Gosen, who was positively beaming when he said:
"It’s the combination of elements that put us in a fantastically strong position. We have 360 degrees of entertainment. At the moment, momentum is fantastic, we’ve got real traction in all European markets."
So it looks like the Xbox 360 console is still moving in the western side of the world. Something I feel Microsoft dropped the ball on the first Xbox, which it seemed like from day one of when the first Xbox launched it failed and the units moved really slow in Japan and in Europe. Which it looks like now Microsoft has tried and fixed the issues they had from the Xbox to the Xbox 360. Which I do not understand why Microsoft is struggling cause the 360 offers tons of content from the great Xbox Live Service to the games and DLC content.
