Midway: Xbox 360 "lagging behind" in Europe


In a somewhat bold (but true) statement, Midway's VP of International, Martin Spiess, has said that he finds the 360's performance in parts of the European territory as "concerning" and also pointed out that the console is "lagging behind" its competitors.

Spiess was answering a question from GamesIndustry.biz about Europe's progression as a market and Midway's perspective on said market. He also seems to see Microsoft as weaker than their competitors. "Sony has become very strong, Nintendo has become very strong, but the Microsoft market in certain territories is very concerning."

My view? Whether you agree or not on the console's apparent weakness, the Xbox 360's performance in Europe has been lacking. You only need to search neogaf to find the statistics.
