Speaking as a UKonian the Wii and 360 both have very goods ads. In the case of the Wii they manage to convince you it is fun for all the family with lots of interaction on screen(The Redknapps). The 360 does a mix of normal fare game ads but also the ads that show off the features. What I have not seen is anything from Sony that does something similar in fact I see next to no advertising at all. Now obviously this is the UK and not the world but if they are doing this bad a job in the UK you can bet your bottom dollar they making even less headway in the US.
Also the price point I think means that a lot of kids who would be buying and playing games have been left out. The people buying the console at the higher price are not necessarily going to buy lots of games. In addition you have Blu Ray only purchases and freebies as part of TV deals etc etc all leading to further fragmentation.
