Why does the 360 sell so well in America?

@Sansui, while most of that is true, I also strongly believe that the PS3 is the better "value" as a console. You just get a whole lot more bang for your buck so to say. I can see the reasons to not be interested in a 360 :P

Europe not catching onto live might have something to do with them not wanting to pay for online gaming... if you play your console online for 4 years, that's at least $200 extra >_>;;

As far as RROD issues are concerned, why is it only America is fine putting up with them?

I honestly think I asked the right question :P I'm just worried that America's average intelligence, and money to spend, is having something to do with it XD

 

Chrono, this isn't a personal attack, but I'd be careful, there, buddy. That's not a good road to go down. Every society across the world has thier share of exceptionally intelligent people as well as those destined for less intellecutal, blue-collar pursuits. I used to think that the Japanese were exceptionally smart people. After spending time in the country, they are no different than anywhere else. There are intellecutals and garbage collectors. Professors and jack-hammer operators. Stock brokers and dump-truck drivers.

If the U.S. was so bad, why do we still have so many people coming from foreign countries to get a higher education in our universities? Students from all over the world flock to U.S. institutions for computer, engineering, science, medical, and other technical degrees.

Americans take a lot of heat from abroad for not being "worldly". Part of the reason is that we don't HAVE to. The vast majority of Americans haven't seen a significant portion of our own country much less other ones. Being ignorant to the ways and cultures of other countries doesn't have anything to do with intelligence...
