@StanGable: The right question should be how come Americans buy more X360's than Europeans. And the answer is: becouse X360 is an american console and people tend to buy products made by companies based in their countries. And this also answers why X360 has no chance in Japan: it can't compete with two consoles that are 'native' to Japanese. Europe is acutally the most neutral territory as there are no Europe-based console company there.
About tastes: European like racing and footbal games much more than Americans which prefer shooters. However this isn't a problem as those kind of games are avalible on both platform with more shooters on X360.
