TEAMXBOX.com - It seems as though Europe is embracing the Xbox 360 as over eight million Europeans now have Xbox 360s.

The folks at Microsoft should be delighted to hear news that Europe is now picking up on the Xbox 360 trend as sales of the system have doubled this Christmas season compared to last year. Combined with the fact that the Xbox 360 is outselling the Playstation 3 in a number of areas, it seems as though Microsoft may be winning the console war at present time.

One of the factors contributed to the Xbox 360's newest sales is the New Xbox Experiece released this past fall. Giving gamers the opportunity to truly customize their online personas, many love the new features including Netflix streaming as well as the party chat. Having a number of releases this year for the Xbox 360, we can only wait to see how Microsoft does in 2009 with the current economic pressure on the country as well as the rest of the world.
