The UK's Marketing for Home Computing and Video Games (MCV) revealed the results of their 2007 retail surveys and things are looking good for the Xbox 360 in the UK. The survey showed that the majority of retailers agree that
Halo 3's launch was the single biggest retail event in 2007 just narrowly beating out the success of the Wii. And their 360 praise continues, with the majority of UK retailers saying that the Xbox 360 will win the console war (49%), that Microsoft has the best quality and attitude towards retail of any publisher (38%) and that Microsoft is the best overall company of the year (29%). Tis' all good stuff! What more can be said? Retail UK loves the Xbox 360,
Halo 3 and Microsoft ... they go all googly eyed for 'em.

So why is it that so many shops that don't sell games for the PS2/3 or 360 sell Wii games. And even I don't think the 360 will win the console war.
I would like to know which retailers were asked, and what the questions were exactly, as this sounds very strange.
But hey, atleast the 360 is doing better than the Xbox did, and it has provided me with a collection of good games, and a smaller bank balance. And without MS I wouldn't have known the joy of Halo 1 to 3, and hopefully Halo 4+.
