Imo its marketing, that and the fact that XBL is actually cool in the states. Here its just slightly better than PSN and it costs $50 vs free. The things that makes it so much better in USA is netflix, last.fm, ESPN, etc. In Europe and rest of the world you don't get many of these features. I also think that the fact thats its from USA has to do with it too. Next Xbox is probably gonna be the biggest home console in USA since PS2, Wii and PSone included. Rest of the world, not so sure.
