People are biased in NA, very biased.

Add to that MTV is huge here, and they are all over the XBOX 360(they are partly owned by microsoft).

No... not at all. Biased? Only if Europe and Japan are biased for favoring the PS3.

The people here just want to play games. Why would they buy a PS3?

- It is more expensive
- It is less popular (less friends to play with)
- Its games are less appealing to NA gamers (Gears & Halo alone probably outsell all PS3 exclusives combined)

The only thing PS3 really has on it is reliability and Bluray. Most gamers don't care about Bluray, and being reliable is only beneficial when the product is desirable. If Sony delivered Gran Turismo, SOCOM, God of War, or any other games NA cares about early on, the situation might not be as bad as it is.

well said thats why I went PS2 to a 360.  If I am biased it would be towards Sony, every TV I own is a sony, my sound system is a sony, and I am a PS2 owner with about 80 games.  I went 360 simply cause has a better and bigger library in my opinion and live got a good crowd to play with
