From gamesradar.com:
Xbox has finally been released in the UK and across Europe - and Microsoft are triumphantly proclaiming it to have the strongest line-up of launch titles ever. With Halo, Dead or Alive 3, Project Gotham Racing, Jet Set Radio Future, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, Project Gotham Racing and Wreckless all available on day one, it's difficult to argue.
Reports from Virgin Megastore's flagship store on Oxford Street, London, are that Microsoft are "very pleased" with the number of consoles they've sold thus far. The shop opened at midnight especially to allow eager early adopters to get their mitts on the mean green machine and, while Virgin won't give specific figures, they say that they sold hundreds of machines last night at that one outlet alone.
While the console is currently freely available - a stark contrast to the pre-order nightmare of the PS2 launch - the store says that they do expect to sell out their first batch of machines.
