Best ever Christmas doubling sales over the same period in 2007. GFK=Chartrack data would appear to back this up as it has the 360 as the fastest growing console in EFIGS in 2008.
Microsoft claim the Xbox 360 install base is now at 8m in EMEA with a 1m lead over the PS3.

Indeed and that's good going for Microsoft two years after the PS3 launched.
The real test for them is how much clear water they can put between them and Sony before the latter get down to an acceptable price. I would still venture EMEA as Sony's best performing territory thus far. 7m in a year less at that price is pretty decent, even if they had the amazing brand power handed to them on a plate to start with.
It's why the head of SCEE is so gobby I think.
