Xbox Rolls Out in Europe This Year
Europe: Microsoft will take Xbox to the streets of Europe before the holidays to give consumers the chance to get to grips with the power console.An official announcement is expected on Monday as Microsoft aims to heighten demand for the console before its release next March in Europe.
Reaction from retail has now coming though and it’s all good. "This is a powerful new machine, so £299 is the natural launch price," Virgin Retail’s Bart Saunt told Brit trade mag, MCV.
He added, "As long as there are plenty of compelling games to accompany the launch, which it seems like there will be, Microsoft’s entry into the business is bound to be successful and will be welcomed by all corners of retail."
