Look at you missing my point.  It's not that price doesn't matter, it's that it matters less there.  I'm also not denying that companies like Nokia can score marketing wins even if they're 'cheapo'.

No, no.  The explanation is consistent when discussing US vs Japan and EU sales.  Don't muddy the waters by discussing different products in different industries in EU only.  The question might be, do cheap phones outsell expensive ones in the US by and even greater margin.  The answer is probably yes.

 

Your point is that in the territories where the 360 isn't doing as hot it's because the buyers prefer quality, implying that the 360 is low quality. Well, guess what in Europe and Japan low-quality products sell over high-quality products. There's no such quality-bias in the behaviour of european or japanese consumers. 

This is about brand, not about quality. But you wouldn't get to cheapshot MS and the 360 so that's why you build that baseless argument about consumer bias. 

 

360 doesn't need me to imply anything.

There is a quality-bias in Japan and Europe much more so than in the US.

If it were about brand, why the much harder reversal for Playstation in the US?  There must be some difference between the US and the EU/Japan.  I've said what it is.
