It is my opinion that the Xbox does well in the US mainly because of its shooters--namely the Halo franchise--and its multiplayer experience. I know many people whose impetus for buying the Xbox/X360 was to experience Halo's MP both locally and on Live. And if MS continues to deliver popular shooter games that have a fun MP aspect--Gears and CoD4--,the friends of the people who own a 360 will also purchase a 360 to share in the fun. There may be other factors at play, but I think those are the main two reasons.
