It makes sense for the UK to be the 360s second strongest region (unless you count America's Hat as number 2) because, to be honest, it culturally is most similiar to the USA. Language, heritage, ect.

Also, I think the Continent (especially France) has had issues w/ American Policy in the recent years, and that may lead indirectly to the 360 (being American) less desirable. Japan (w/ the exception of Korea, and possibly Chine) is not really divisive. No one for the most part is anti Japan (unless they are still butt hurt about Pearl Harbor)

Your first point is right on the money, and the second is just so wrong and not true at all. 


I put I think in the front just to make it clear it was a perception of mine. Honestly, there may be no anti american sentiment on the continent, it just seems our current leadership talks about repairing America's reputation overseas, so I thought it was safe to assume that it did exist in some form. I know the anti french/russian sentiment in the US has a minor impact on the popularity of their products in the past(not counting the annoying practice of calling "french fries" "freedom fries")
