Page 2 of 2 You've undoubtedly read the recent reports about the Xbox 360 outselling the Playstation 3 in Japan, but did you hear the news about the UK? The 360 is now outselling the PS3 by more than two to one across the pond. Continued...
 Reports have the latest Xbox console jumping up 214% in sales since the price drop which put the 360 below the Wii's price point, making the Arcade the least expensive current-gen console on the market. For Microsoft, outselling the Playstation 3 more than two to one is just bonus. Chris Lewis, Vice President, Interactive Entertainment Business EMEA, said: "This data shows that the Xbox 360 trajectory continues upwards, and not just in the UK. We've seen uplift in all countries in Europe and are confident that even at this rate of growth we can keep retail satisfied with a steady supply of consoles throughout the Christmas season. Our commitment to continuously improving and innovating new content, our new high-profile marketing campaign and the fact that we're now the best-value next-gen console on the market with an entry-level ERP of £129.99 combine to make Xbox 360 the right blend of gaming and wider experiences at the right price to offer unparalleled entertainment for everyone. And these figures prove it." So we know the 360 is selling more in the UK. And we know the Xbox 360 is outselling the PS3 in it's own Japan. And stats show the 360 selling well in other countries. Looks like you'll be playing the best games possible for the next couple years if you own an Xbox 360. When game publishers see these numbers, they know where their games will be going. Also, when you consider what the classic JRPGs have done for sales in Japan, we can expect to see more classic RPG styled games on our Xbox 360s. What do you think about the increase in sales?
