Well thanks for being called stupid by some ppl in this tread cause we are from Europe. I could just as well call the american people that then, since they buy Faulty hardware from a monopolistic company, but i wont ;)
But I can explain why ppl at least in The Netherlands prefer the PS3 over the Xbox360.
First there is the name reconition, everyone loved the PS2.
But here was A LOT of news about the RROD with the xbox wich hurt microsoft a lot. Here people when they spend a lot of money on a product they want it to work good. (Even though the new xbox's seem to have less problems with overheating, people dont know that, they only know "That dying xbox keeps breaking")
The PS3 on the other hand does have blu-ray. People that I know are adopting that new format as well. Lots of people like the difference between bluray and regular DVD.
And also i hear people about the game libary from the xbox, they indeed have a much bigger libary then the PS3. Does it matter a lot.. Not really.
They want GT5 ,Fifa, PES, GTA and other games
Some of those are also on the XBOX.
Also i think that the people are more aware that the pricedifference is justified.
Cause you get a lot more but also for more money for a device they know that barely ever breaks. Including the blu-ray, WIFI, cardreader, free online etc etc.
----------------------
The above was in general the next part is more my personal oppinion
Even though i think personally that Microsoft did a great thing with the 360, compared to the old xbox, they got a lot exclusives, great libary etc etc
My vote still goes to the PS3. Also cause their exclusive games are more interesting for me. Even though i have been tempted by some of the 360 exclusive JRPG's to get the 360 also.
(not counting the WII, cause everyone loves that machine, cause the WII is a lot of fun with a group of people)
