[Hammerclaw]

Some European Retailers say there is much more public interest in the Sony machine than there is for Microsoft's offering--but other retailers disagree. http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/ps4-more-popular-than-xbox-one-retailers-suggest

And 10 years ago, Iran or Iraq (I forget which) was interested in hoarding PS2s so they could network 1,000s of them together for world dominating missiles.

What exactly does this have to do with the thread in any capacity? Neither Iraq or Iran are part of EU.

Hype generation. You'll rarely find a retailer saying a product they carry isn't doing well.

Maybe true, but not relevant. These retailers are offering both products. There's no reason for them to hype the PS4 over the X1.

Seems like everyone you ask has different opinions on which console is doing better. Curious, isn't it?

 

[Andy]

Indeed.

Some actual facts would be nice, but I think we'll have to wait.

 

[DriedMangoes]

I would say there's definitely more interest in the PS4 than the Xbox One among my social circles.

 

[Ape Still Rules]

This like breaking news that air is for breathing.

 

[Oblong]

Euro's also like warm beer...just sayin'

 

[consolewarz]

Pretty much a given that PS4 was going to sell much more in Europe, and that PS4 is much more popular and positive on social media. This isn't a big surprise, the metrics have been saying this for months.

Until we evolve into higher forms of life?

Microsoft must be panicking about getting whooped in the UK, that was a MS stronghold I thought

lol

What is there a 70,000 unit difference? That isn't whooped at all. At least be educated when you are going to act like a child.

Serious butthurt

250k to 150k, just like the 66/33 metrics were indicating.

When BOTH consoles are destined to sell 70 million+ though, this difference means nothing.

Sure, long term Xbox could drop price to $299 with Titanfall bundled and sell zillions. But the pre-launch metrics were right and people pretending up was down were wrong.

Fair enough. Like I always say though, doesn't bother me and really shouldn't bother anyone.
