Xbox 360 was released on November 22nd and December 5th in US and Europe :

"By year's end Microsoft had sold 1.5 million units; including 900,000 in North America, 500,000 in Europe, and 100,000 in Japan."

So yeah.

Not so sure about that one tbh - Europe has always been the Lepers when it comes to Nintendo

Nah, there's an interview somewhere in this thread where the guy from Nintendo says Europe are getting more, I think.

Anyway, being number 7 in line, I'm quite hopeful.

So I'll have to preorder this in order for it to come?

retired_bec8643

If you want it before christmas i'd imagine you are best off pre ordering it yes.

4 million world wide by end of year, 1 million units on north American launch. Europe should get a fair few i reckon.

btw, if i don't get one now after pre-ordering like 30mins-1hour after it went on pre-order i shall be p!ssed

retired_bec8643

I'd say between them by end of year America and Japan would get 3 million then.

1 million for rest of Europe, would mean approx 500k for uk and other 500k between other countries.

Meh what the hell pre ordered online with Game.

Doesn't make any odds to me either way as when i pre ordered 360 and picked it up at midnight i didn't really play it much anyway.

Pre ordered with Zelda and Red Steel.

Bit of a con though considering you can buy games for £34.99 elsewhere.

Pre ordered mine with game.co.uk ( heard good reports on the 360 launch, staying well clear of play.com) to get 2% cash back with rpoints.
