France: Xbox? Non. Merci.

The French. Whatever your preconceptions of our magical neighbours, you can’t fault their taste in consoles: despite the 360 being out for much longer than the PS3, Sony are just about to overtake Microsoft in next-gen sales, according to these guys.

PS3 = 563,000 units sold.
360 = 589,000 units sold.

With numbers like this being echoed across Europe (and obviously Japan) there’s only the States left to conquer, where both consoles are the equivalent of about £25. Mmm.
