Its the only console made from an American company so Americans feel a need to support it.


Has there been a occurrence of someone saying that (even online? o.O)?



Buying things simply because of their region seems kinda odd especially in this day and age where almost everything comes from China l0l.

Where something is made is irrelavent tbh, the company behind the X1 is an American company.  There is always that feeling to support something that comes from the place you live, just like supporting your home sports team, even if they trade your favorite player your probably gonna still be cheering for your jersey.  


Not really no.  America is about dead last when it comes to country brand loyalty.

Generally Americans think things made in America are built like crap.


It's actually plays the opposite way.

Japan won't buy a non-japanese console.  Japan being one of the strongest country loyalty companies.

 

As for Europe?   Europe loves racers, and Nintendo's early europe game sucked.  So Sony holds a lot of the nostalgia Nintendo does in Japan and the US.

Also, Fifa has been learned to be played on a Playstation controller.

 

While the US... Madden was mostly learned on 360 because Microsoft did a great job targeting it as a big focus early on.  Tournaments being with Xbox controllers etc.
