Ifølge Microsoft har deres sorte boks med det grønne øje etableret sig som den anden mest solgte konsol i Europa, og det synes de godt om.
De to opinionsfirmaer Chart-Track og GfK har indsamlet salgstal og andet over hele Europa og er kommet frem til at hver gang der bliver langet en Gamecube over disken, så bliver der langet to Xboxe over selvsamme disk.
Neil Thompson som er Director of Marketing hos Microsoft havde følgende at sige om sagen: "Our increasing market share is great news for us. The steady increase in Xbox gamers over the year proves our strategy of offering consumers exactly what they wanted has paid off - a well-priced console, with more power than any other console on the market, a killer games portfolio and a built-in broadband adapter for instant online gaming with Xbox Live. The choice gamers had to make at Christmas was a tough one but the numbers show that Xbox was the first choice for a significant number of people. We are looking forward to seeing our number two position in the market going from strength to strength."
Xbox har solgt mere end en million konsoller i England, Tyskland og Frankrig.
