Xbox Live currently is about 12 to 18 months ahead of PSN

According to Microsoft, it has now sold in excess of 10 million consoles in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The news comes just in time for the appearance of Facebook and Twitter functionality along with streaming 1080p movies next Tuesday (17 November).

According to Martin Olausson, director of Digital Media Research at Strategy Analytics. "Xbox 360 continues to pull ahead of the competition when it comes to delivering on a complete home entertainment experience and we think that Xbox Live currently is about 12 to 18 months ahead of its main rival PlayStation Network when it comes to offering service and content beyond traditional games."

We agree, but how exactly the figure of 10m consoles is worked out when so many users have had to buy new ones, or indeed simply have a broken one lying around that they haven't got round to getting fixed, is anyone's guess.
