1. It's expensive and it isn't a Playstation. Only Sony can afford to screw up as much as they have and still have fans.

2. It's heavily focused on FPS and online. Europe doesn't hate those things like Japan, but doesn't like them as much as the US either.

3. It's from the US, and everything from that side of the Atlantic has a bad reputation due to a bunch of reasons like how they elected a monkey for a president, his enthusiasm to occupy random developing countries, and how there is actually debate on wether evolution and climate change exist. Disagree with me as much as you like, but this is how a lot of people perceive things.

The last reason probably gets too much attention, but it's definitely there.

 

1. I agree.

2. I'd rather say that in EU PC gaming is still strong and on PC there's plenty of FPS...in Uk, where PC gaming is less strong X360 is doing really good.

3. no, the real issue is that it's from MS and a lot of people just hate MS products (windows/office)...was it from Apple it wouldn't have any problem.

 

having said this i don't think that x360 is doing bad...it's doing better than the original xbox even if it's more expensive and this year it will easily pass xbox total sales.
