Microsoft: Xbox 360 is one million ahead of the PS3 in Europe |

During last month's GamesCom, Sony claimed that it had already sold 10 million units in PAL territories after Microsoft previously announced that it had sold over 9 million units of Xbox 360 in Europe. But now, Microsoft claims that the Xbox 360 still maintains a one million unit advantage over Sony's PS3. According to Microsoft's Xbox Euro boss Chris Lewis, the Xbox 360 still enjoys a healthy lead over the PS3 in Europe:
We’re confident we are actually around a million units ahead. We count installed base differently to them. We count the number of units in the hands of consumers. We are committed to continuing that momentum – not only in places like the UK, France and Germany. Continued growth in all parts of Europe is integral to winning [against PS3] overall.

Thus, I don't know if the numbers really mean anything.

Sony announced it had sold 10m units in the PAL territory at Gamescom two weeks ago %u2013 just days after Microsoft had revealed a 9m installed base figure for the Xbox 360 in Europe to MCV.
The numbers show PS3 is 1 mil ahead of Xbox 360 but Microsoft is so ignorant and arrogant that they reversed the numbers. How else do you count install base? Only way is how they described the amount of consoles sold even if 54% of them were people buying them again because it failed.

12,35M (360) vs 10,93 (PS3)
Still, it's true that those counts console bought after original failed, after the warranty of course (because the others were repaired or replaced by MS directly and not by retailers)

Either way, I dont think you have any evidence to support your statement. PS3 is capable of many things the 360 is not. If we're "D-bags" for wanting increased functionality, compatability, stability, features, reliability... I guess im just a D-bag then and your the smart one.

PS3 has games worthy of owning the console. So says the owners of the console. Can't argue facts.

1) It would take too much time downloading almost 25gbs of game data.
2)you will need a blu-ray burner
3) Blu ray discs which costs like $10

"I like the way [the PS3] renders," Rockstar founder Sam Houser told 1UP.com. "There's a certain kind of softness without being blurry%u2014some warmth to it%u2014and then there's a certain more clinical element to how the 360 looks."

You bought a BR-player attached to a server, but the server doesn't have the memory a normal server needs. So, if your wondering why the PS3 freezes (and has forced installs and plays ports poorly) and why they have those mini-updates to reconfigure the firmware so the damn thing won't blow up. Now, you know. It is also why they switched to the 45nm chips (which may help the heat issue) but not the memory problem.
Now, for RROD, the Xbox 360 is a game system that was initially using cheap parts. However, cheap parts can be improved. When the overall design is flawed (as in the PS3), it means anyone who buys a PS3 now...is a D-bag. And, you deserve the little you get. LMAO!

Im not usually the one to flame, but this has to be one of the dumbest posts ive seen. Its all basically a poorly informed opinion that doesn't have anything factual even in its foundation of what your "trying" to talk about. I feel dumber now for having read your post and even replied back to it.

Dont forget how many 360's RROD so half of that million are dead consoles.
Lets do a new survey now as to all the working consoles and the PS3 will be 2nd behind the Wii.
Hang on,
10 million Xbox360 sold... 9 million PS3 sold.
Minus dead consoles.
That equals 5 million Xbox360 and 8.5 million PS3
I still think the PS3 is winning.
