GameTavern - View Single Post - X-Box sales in Europe!!

I'm not saying that this was a bad launch (if the numbers about PS2's launch are right, then XBox did really well), but isn't Europe supposed to be the biggest videogame market? Is it because Europeans buy the most software rather than the most consoles?

Wait a second. That's not the article I thought it was. Where is it from? I was thinking of a Computer and Videogames article which said XBox sold 80,000 in the first 3 days (which was apparently good compared to PS2's 70,000).

Anyways, I hate to sound like the nitpicking fanboy, but I didn't see any solid numbers in PuPPeT's article. All I saw was pleased statements from Microsoft and retailers which isn't a bad thing but doesn't quite have the impact of a nice, solid number. Did I miss something?
