Microsoft responds to Reggie's comments

Monday 19-Mar-2007 2:43 PM "We're very happy with how Xbox 360 is performing in Europe", Microsoft tells CVG
8 Comments
Microsoft has told CVG that it is "very happy with how Xbox 360 is performing in Europe" in response to earlier claims made by Reggie Fils-Aime that the console was underperforming.

Speaking about the Wii's competition, the Nintendo of America boss said: "360 is selling well only in one country: UK. Across the rest of Europe, it is not performing well."

But Microsoft disagrees, telling CVG: "We're very happy with how Xbox 360 is performing in Europe. We do not release figures by country, but we are on target to meet our goal of 12 million consoles sold worldwide by the end of June 2007, have sold more than 10.4 million consoles globally as of December 2006, and have built a global Xbox Live community of more than 6 million people.

"European gamers love Xbox 360 and we're looking forward to bringing exciting next-generation experiences like Halo 3, Forza 2, and Mass Effect to the platform in the coming months."

The Wii is sold out and Nintendo has every right to be confident at the moment. But it'll be interesting to see how the worldwide sales figures turn out in a year's time.

Microsoft said "We're very happy with how Xbox 360 is performing in Europe."

"Very happy" maybe. But they didnt say "delighted."

A year over its competitors and MS are content with 10 million units sold? Bull

The 360 has done well and I am a very proud and happy 360 owner. and over 10 million in a year is not bad. What is true is what will the sales figures be like this time next year when 360 has had its big guns out like Halo 3 and GTA IV and the PS3 being out with GTA IV and Metal gear 4.
