| Ausfalcon said: Its probably just what came to mind first for his speechwriter (or himself if he wrote that portion). The Xbox 360 is seen as very popular with teens in the U.S., and it gets more space at retailers like Gamestop. So while I doubt much thought went into it, its not at all surprising why it came to mind first. |
I think that it is an automatic response that any politician has when they need to mention a product or company to mention one from their country. If the american president has to name a car manufacturer in a speech he would say 'Ford' or 'Chrysler' instead of 'Nissan' or 'Volkswagen'. It just looks better to mention things associated with your country, people like it.
If he said Sony or Nintendo it could have looked bad.
Then again maybe I'm reading too much into lol
