Why do you think the 360 has the edge in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand when the PS3 has the edge everywhere else?

Yeah, because in the rest of Europen people speak Japanese. That's why the PS3 has an edge there. I don't really understand the point of your argument. The 360 is a video game console. Don't get why you stress the importance that it's made in the US. Developers from all over the world make games for it, and console video games are always localised in most countries (plus English is one of the most widely spoken language in the world, and is probably the most popular "foreign" language to learn). By your logic the most sucessfull video game in Germany (for example) should be one made by Germans, for Germans (taking into consideration their culture) and in German. Guess what? If you look at the gaming charts in Germany, you'll see that Germans buy roughly ythe same video games that all European nations buy, which are roughly the same video games that people in the US and other English-speaking countries buy.

Westerns are in English speaking regions because they were widely exported to English speaking regions.

American movies are widely exported all over the world. Actually in pretty much every country (at least those in the West) American movies are the most watched movies (and it has always been this way due to the huge head start the US had during the war).

I don't know if you are purposely misreading my points, but I'm not going to argue with you any more.
