There are Wii owners and there are Wiitards .Most of the people posting in this thread are Wiitards .Sad ,but true .

And the PS3 outsells the 360 in all Europe save maybe UK (and we dont know since the 40Gb introduction ) .Its not only a case of Spain ,Italy ,Portugal and Greece .

In any case ,and given that you are insulting my country ,maybe you should know that the common conception on the americans worlwide is that you are absolute ignorants that doesnt even know where the other countries are and dont know nearly anything outside your country or even better state .That would explain many things with the american market too (obsession with FPS for instance ) .Your patritiotism would also explain the X360 doing well there while it flops in the rest of the world .

So stop flaming ,because its easy to use a cliche to attack others .

The PS3 sells great in Spain ,the Wii sells very good too although not so much and the X360 sells quite poorly .Thats all and trying to spin this is useless ,more so that you are trying to spin this with cliches as the supposed macho-looking behaviour of the southern europeans .The PS3 also outsold the Wii last october in Germany too dont you know it ,and in Japan ....maybe those are too macho-looking guys that must to have the most expensive machine ?

I totally agree with Diomedes here. Just as it is completely unfair to pass judgement based on (completely false) stereotypes of someone from Spain (come on, you think many men in the US don't treat women like shit as much as anywhere else? Where do you live (as I'm pretty sure that's just what you'll find EVERYWHERE)?), it's just as ludicrous to think all Americans are exactly what Diomedes described in his sarcastic generalization (which, for whatever it's worth, does not describe me, as an American, in any way what-so-ever...I'm quite great at geography and would love nothing more than to travel the world and meet people from all over).

Listen, the fact that he can write as well as he does in English, obviously his second language, definitely warrants a bit of respect. I won't say I agree with all of his viewpoints, as to me they're a bit unrealistic; but I understand where he is coming from. If I were living in Spain, I'd probably think the way he does. Completely different culture where Sony has a very big stronghold (I'd be interested to learn the history of how that started).

Let's please keep it civil. If you want to call someone a "12 year old" please learn to not generalize and base your judgments of millions of people on some erroneous anecdotal "evidence".

Disagreeing is one thing, but this "name-calling" can do no good (really can only make this site look bad).

no it doesnt. only cause he can speak a second language does not mean you have to respect his opinion. And saying: oh how speciual, someone who can speak english as his second language is just bull. in Europe, anyone who cant speak english has a big problem.
