it would have bombed, only the 360 can get away with it, because it's an American machine, and Americans are so patriotic that the 360 could still be selling these numbers even if it had 69% failure rate, after all America is the only country where fuel guzzlers are still made and sold despite the economic crisis and the situation with oil, but hey that's what the iraq war was for right.

Um...  great point, except that 360 is beating PS3 in Europe too.  Nice try though.

Patriot numero uno.

360 have one year head start and is barely above PS3 in Europe.

Nice try though.

More than a one year headstart, so that's two extra holiday seasons and last holiday season entry pricing went as low as 119 Euro (less than 1/3 of a PS3). At such entry pricing they are already tapping the young teen (and even preteen) demographics.
