PS3 installed base in PAL territories will eclipse Microsoft's Xbox 360 by the end of the summer, Sony has claimed.

 

Speaking to trade magazine MCV David Reeves, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, has commented on when the team believes the PlayStation 3 will overtake the Xbox 360 in Europe and other PAL territories.

 

"In terms of installed base in some of our major markets, such as France, Spain, Germany, Italy, plus some distributor territories in smaller markets like Switzerland, our current cumulative installed base is now higher than that of the Xbox 360, " said Reeves. But what of PAL territories as a whole?

 

According to Reeves Sony expects "to overtake installed base of Xbox 360 across PAL territories in late summer." To add some weight to Sony's belief, Reeves added that "last week we outsold Xbox 360 in PAL territories by a ratio of 3:1."

 

In North America things look very different, with Microsoft's console outselling the PS3 month on month.
