xbox 360 blows up in europe thanks to price cuts

Thanks to dropping its UK console prices, Microsoft has announced that its XBox 360 sales have hit the 6 million mark in Europe:
Microsoft has boasted of ‘strong momentum’ following last week’s UK price cuts – and announced that it has broken the six million sales mark in Europe.

The platform holder brought the entry-level SRP for the Arcade console down to £129.99 on Friday, with the standard 60GB 360 priced at £169.99 - leaving it with two consoles under Wii's bargain £179.99 pricetag.
I always think of the Wii as being the most internationally played console but you really can't discount the pervasiveness of Microsoft. Although I've also read numbers showing that the PS3 is by far the most popular console across the pond.
