Have Microsoft solidified themselves as a gaming giant equal to Sony?

Sony have great sales in all regions and have 3 platforms on the market, wheras Microsoft only have 1 platform on the market, that only has great sales in America and a small part of Europe. It has yet to pick up any kind of real momentum in Japan.

All you need to do is take a look at this weeks sales. Without the "Americas", the 360 only sold ~50k in the rest of the world, wheras the PS3 sold ~100k in the rest of the world.

I would say though, that the Xbox brand is now greater than the PS brand in the US, and possibly in the UK.

Well since the USA is the most powerful country and #1 economy in the world then thats all that matters isn't it?

Thanks to America we had a worldwide financial crisis.

The UK is just a small piece of Europe, the rest of Europe is pro-Sony.  

Nice poll btw, giving multiple negative answers makes the only positive one look better.

Therefore all the negative ones should be added and held up against the positve one.

3 options would be better: "Yes", "No" and "Almost there".
