Microsoft says 360 leads PS3 by 1M in Europe

by Justin McElroy on Feb 16th 2009 4:40PM

Ask your local pan-handling, barrel-wearing former CEO and he'll tell you: A million isn't what it used to be. But even though 1,000,000 with nearly any fiscal symbol in front of it is nowhere the fortune it was just 12 months ago, it still seems a pretty impressive figure when you're talking about console leads: A million is exactly how far Microsoft EMEA VP Chris Lewis says the 360 is ahead of the PS3 in Europe.

But it's not too late, European Sony fans. With the very idea of representative currency crumbling around you, there's never been a better time to go buy an extra PS3 (or a million) and turn this tide. Besides, think of your friends' envy when you can escape from the cacophony of post-financial-apocalypse neo-orphans crying for scurvy-fighting citrus fruits in your house ... made of PlayStations!

Lmao longhorn, don't get upset because the xbox 360 has better exclusives and a bigger fanbase. It's ok dude, wipe them tears off your eyes and act like a man. And btw, LBP is junk.

I think that Sprinkles might be back again ... It's just way to similar

LBP is the best game of 2008.

I'll do to you what you did to me ... Act stupid

Gears Of War 2 (glitch piece of junk that everyone hates - fail)
Halo (most overrated game this generation - fail)
Fable 2 (great a 5 hour RPG - fail)
GTA IV DLC (wow $20 for DLC on the most overrated game of '08 - fail)
Left 4 Dead (Better on the PC - fail)
Braid (I'll let my 9 year old cousin play that cuz it's geared toward toddlers - fail)

Do you see the stupidity of your ways now?

I'm not going to go back line for line over the PS3 list that you did he same thing for but on just about every single response you were completely wrong. It shows you don't keep up with current video game affairs. Idiot.

Rofl, LBP, best game of 2008. No sir, Fable 2 and Gta Iv are the best games of 2008. It's a fact.

Fable 2 .. you mean the 5 hour RPG ... LOL

It's also a fact that LBP is the best game of the year by it's MULTIPLE awards.
