Back to the Article. Who here can tell me with a strait face that the 360 is NOT a success story in N. America this gen? They making money on the 360. They out selling last gen winner almost 2 to 1. They got the highest attach ratio. I'm confuse why most people on this site still believe that 360 is NOT a success story in N. America this gen.

You're correct.  The 360 has had a huge amount of success in the U.S.  But the gaming industry is much more than just one country, it is the entire world.  In my opinion, the problem is those that tout NPD data as if it (USA) means more than the rest of the world.  

I believe we call that arrogance. 

Relative to the original Xbox the 360 is a huge success everywhere. Oh and America is big enough so if you do well there you don't need to do amazingly well anywhere else.
