As well as boasting about nearly tripling PS3's sales recently, Microsoft's just issued some more GOOD NEWS about how sales are going following the recent Europe-wide price cuts.

Sales are going WELL since the recent Europe-wide price cuts, with Neil Thompson, Microsoft's European Senior Regional Director, pointing out that Xbox 360's just managed its best-yet week of sales, even eclipsing the 2005 Christmas launch fever. Here are his unedited words...

"To date, we have sold 7 million consoles in Europe and recently enjoyed our biggest sales week ever. Our trend research shows that families are looking for gifts that keep on giving throughout the year."

The bit on the end about "trend research" is something about people saying they're not going to stop buying games consoles just because the world seems to be running out of money. It's not relevant, but I left it in so I wouldn't have to write so much down here.
