Since America is the largest of the three major markets, its unlikely. The Japanese simply just don't buy enough to tip the scales in anyone's favor by a significant margin. And Europe is still Wii country.

yeah how can the win with out the biggest market ???

 Logic!

Seriously though, Sony will not die in NA- it will continue to increase its percentage of marketshare in North America. And NA + Europe will continue to be Sony.

So can it win without NA?

The real question is, how the word "without" is being used here.  

If Sony continues to underperform the 360 in NA, and continues to win Europe+Japan, then Yes Sony can eventually "win" , but it will take a long time.

If sony sold nothing in NA, then ofcourse they stand no chance- but that is not what the question is asking.

 

IMO, it is hard to view the 360 as anything other than a sinking ship- when future software is considered.
