Reeves admitted say GG that Sony will be getting more competitive in price with the PS3 from March 2009 onwards Lies, damn lies, statistics, and console press releases. Who to believe? "We are winning in Europe, outselling PS3 in the region and currently experiencing the strongest sales we have ever seen in Europe, and since our price drop... Xbox 360 sales have increased by five times, showing that European consumers are flocking to Xbox 360."For the first time, Xbox 360 is leading Southern Europe, outselling PS3 for three weeks in Spain and by 2:1 in Italy," the company added. MS also reiterated the fact that the 360 outsold PS3 by almost 2:1 in October in the States. link Edited November 26, 2008 by davep
