According to Microsoft, the recent European price drop has done what it was intended to do, doubling hardware sales since its inception. Chris Lewis, Vice President of Microsoft Interactive Entertainment Business Europe had some PR speak for the press: "Xbox 360 is truly the next-generation console of choice among consumers, and today's numbers are proof that we are delivering on our commitment to achieve critical mass in Europe." Microsoft also claims that they own 42% of next-gen revenue, a fact they've flaunted before. With Europe being a bit more traditionally Sony and Nintendo's territory let's hope this is more than just PR exaggeration.

Why are they not dropping the price in the U.S. before GTA 4 release? It would definitely help push sales for the 360.

If Europe is so important why do we not get so much XBLM content, and why do you charge us so much more.
If you want to get European support give Europe free stuff when the US gets it, give us the same content as the US, and don't charge double for so much stuff.
And finally give us coffins for our broken Xboxes, that is the least you could do.

Are you seriously retarded....GOW is exclusive to MS! 360 first then PC a year later.
Quite simply it's like Halo....it wont ever be hitting the PS3, just like MGS4 won't be hitting the 360.

Microsoft can say whatever they want so they can sleep at night. 360 is only doing decent in the US, and Sony product so far selling more unites every month of the year 2008.
