Microsoft has already happily announced that they'll be reaching the 25 million worldwide Xbox 360 install base sometime this month and now we know exactly how many of those consoles come from Europe: 7 million!
MCV reports that Microsoft's European Xbox 360 sales have reached 7 million consoles, 2 million of them have been generated since June of this year. Probably thanks to a rather large European price cut. Microsoft Europe is also pegging this Holiday to be its 'best ever Christmas" for 360 sales. We recommend buying at minimum three Xbox 360 consoles. One for the living room, one for the bedroom and one (preferably an Arcade model) for the restroom.

I just got a 360 like 2 weeks ago, I haven't been able to put down the controller since. The last console I had this much fun with was probably my Sega Genesis back when I was younger. Even my girlfriend enjoys it -- she's played all my games with me. Dead Rising, CoD4, GTA4, Beautiful Katamari, Mirror's Edge, and Left 4 Dead. We've been playing Left 4 Dead non-stop online together. :)
Best console out right now, hands down.

If it wasn't for me Europe would still be sitting at 6,999,998 consoles.
Yes yes I know, you can thank me later.

Oh man, I pretty much loved those commercials. They should have made more.
