The 360's best markets are UK, Aussie and the rest of the world outside Europe. 360 can forget about mainland Europe, it's well behind there and there's no coming back. Only Scandinavia is still holding the 360 in the silver medal position. So it's down to those 3 "areas" to keep the difference minimal.
I think UK and Aussie can flip back to 360 on a regular weekly basis, it's a question of whether MS has the marketing campaign and the games to do it. Aussie showed some real Uncharted 2 love this week rising by 29% 2nd only in % increase to the USA. But I'm sure the 360 exclusive fare for the holidays will have appeal to the Aussies. Does FM3 have Aussie V8 supercars? I betcha if either GT5 or FM3 added the V8s they would take Aussie (and NZ) in a heartbeat. We love those V8 Fords and Holdens. I'm a Holden man myself.
