People saying those in UK only buy western stuff is waaaay wrong.
UK used to be one of Sony's strongholds. The Playstation 1 & 2 sold loads here.
The fact 360 sells more is nothing to do with which country the consoles come from.
Feck everything we use here is foreign pretty much. I drive a Japanese car, have a Japanese phone, have a Japanese tv etc etc.
The reality is most people are not fanboys here, they do not stay loyal to a brand simply because of it's name. They see it just for what it is, a machine.
If say next gen Sega made a new console along with the next Nintendo,MS and Sony consoles it would have just as much chance to be selling as the others. It is this openess to products that helps companies to do so well here.
Having a country like Japan which relies a lot on its own products is very different. A great product made outside of Japan will sell less then a total crap product that was made in Japan. The problem is websites such as this see people look at those numbers and assume that the crap product must be great as it has sold xyz amounts.
