Reeves: Microsoft’s Gosen is incorrect over European console figures
Speaking to Eurogamer at E3 last week, SCEE head David Reeves said that his announcement at London’s PlayStation Day in May that PS3 had overtaken 360 in Europe was correct.
Microsoft’s David Gosen rubbished the figures after the event: the company was wrong, said the Sony exec.
“I think we’ve only made one – I would say – controversial announcement and that was to say that we have a higher installed base than Xbox 360 [in Europe] and we stand by that. We know what the figures are,” he said.
“But I think – and I keep repeating this – that the more important thing is the growth in the marketplace is just absolutely phenomenal.”
It’s David versus David. Who will win? More through the link. The full Reeves interview’s here.

Time for those two to do the honourable thing and wrestle, whoever loses quits the console market forever.

Sony have a larger install base in Europe than the 360, that is fact.

That is not fact until we see proof in cold, hard figures. And neither party appears to be willing to provide them.
