Sales Of Sony Platforms Fare Relatively Well In The European Region According To New Data.

Be aware, that GAME only retails in the UK, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Czech Republic, and Australia, so figures from Germany and Italy are excluded.

The total sales put the PS3 just a million behind the XBOX 360, with Microsoft's one year head-start and a slight dominance in the UK attributing to their dwindling European lead. The PSP sits at 8 million with the PS2 happy with its gigantic 24.9 million sales - which is being closed in by Nintendo's DS.

It's a relatively pretty picture for Sony in Europe with the last generation's PS2 dominating the scene and Sony's current fairing gaining speed on its nearest competitor.
