Midway Concerned About Xbox360 Euro Sales > |
2008/09/09 10:38:31: Posted by DM | |
Midway is concerned about what it calls "lagging" Xbox360 sales in Europe. The VP of International Affairs at Midway, Martin Spiess, told GI that he finds the performance of the MS console in some countries "concerning," and he notes that it is lagging behind other consoles. We can only assume he means Wii and Playstation 3. Then again, remember in countries like Germany, games such as GTA and GoW are banned. That has to impact sales somewhat. This Holiday Season will be interesting with the PS3 actually have some decent games to play.

MS also has had some antitrust and RRoD lawsuits being brought against it in the EU. GoW was in 06 (it being banned not hurting sales now) and GTA was on PS3 (also banned). I don't know that those could be considered viable reasons why a console doesn't sell well. Also, the PS3 had "some decent" games to play last holiday season. Comments like that only leads to flame wars.
