As people said before, most of the world outside the US - to be brutally honest - thought the original Xbox was unimpressive. People either bought it for Halo or to mod it for media capabilities. In Japan, they are finally turning the image around from being the big American Sports / Shooter / Racer console.
PS3 also has a sleeker design, quieter, and more reliable. Yes, I do own the 360. All I have to say is look at preferences for cars between America and EU/JP.
You can't deny it, but Halo pretty much represents right wing American values to the maximum.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
Conservatives: Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.
