Domination for Sony in Europe, don't think Xbox has any hope of catching up in this territory, hope they don't make the same mistakes next gen
I think that not even the Xbox 360 was able to take Europe.
Let's be real: It's a long shot for them to recover globally, much less the European region.
What makes you think they will even bother to compete next gen?. Please tell me of all the gens MS has won single handedley or come back in a massive way, because I can't see any point where they have. Last gen they had a lead for a while and now that is basically over and done with.
