MS: 360 Still Leading the PS3 in Europe

GS: What about the recent claims that PS3 has outsold Xbox 360 in Europe?

AG: I think it’s not based on actual data. I think that’s clear. We went and looked at independent sell-through data from companies like Chart-Track and GfK, and actual retail sell-through in actual consumers’ hands. We have more than a million units than PS3. And that doesn’t take into effect all the momentum behind our back. We’ve seen our sales double since the price drop.

Even GTA – in markets like the UK, the majority of sales of GTA are on Xbox. It is clear that when you look at actual independent sales data – not ours and not theirs – that we do have a larger install base.
