Well, the XBox 360 did have a year's head sdtart in Europe, but VGChartz has been guesstimating around 30,000 consoles sold there weekly for a long while now (of course, recent numbers DO show a Halo 3 bump). Until just recently, the PS3 has actually been outselling the XBox 360 there by a slim margin, again according to VG Chartz guesstimations. It seems like the strength of the playstation brand and the weakness of the Microsoft brand there is an added impediment to the XBox 360 catching on beyond a certain crowd.
