DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 14, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2009 By Patrick Garratt Xbox Europe boss Chris Lewis has told MCV that Xbox 360 has now passed 9 million sales in Europe. ?Our installed base is now well over nine million in Europe, where we enjoy about 27 per cent of the current share of the console market,? he said. ?This calendar year, we?re the only console showing positive growth. That?s 22 percent on the first half against a market that is down to a similar margin overall. So we are bucking that trend.? Buck that trend, Chris. Buck the **** out of it. More through there. http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/14/360-passes...lion-in-europe/ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating their words now (Y) @JD, numbers mean a hell of a lot. Just look how many developers flocked to the DS and Wii. If you have a large install base it makes your platform very appealing to develop for than one with far less. The larger the audience, the better chance of turning a profit you have.

True... just hope it sticks to the better developers.. as we all know the shovelware that comes out just about every week for the Wii. I just wanted to see how the #s broke down on all three platforms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 14, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2009 We really should have a tracking system in EU, then we wouldn't need to rely on the manufacturers themselves to tell us the sales data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
