The xbox 360 had a year head start. Hence the market would be more saturated with people who wanted one already owning one. Therefore sales would expect to slow down.
I agree that the market is no where near saturated. When the PS3 and 360 reach PS2 numbers, then you may have an arguement but right now, it's nowhere close. Please note that PS2 sold 127 Million units as of Nov. 2007.
When you can say that 98% of households have either a 360 or a PS3 (like DVD players), then you can say it's saturated.

Ofcourse PS3 outsold the 360 in that Month/Year.
Most people have already has a 360, that's why. :)
But still, (PS2, PS3) > (Xbox, 360) in Europe.
Grats to Sony nonetheless.

Your comment makes no sense at all.
If you follow through the link and read the actual article you'll realise that what they've said is:
"We have sold more PlayStation 3s throughout Europe than Xbox 360 even though they launched 16 months before us."
They didn't just outsell the 360 for a month/year. They've outsold he total number of 360s.
