If MS attacked Europe more harshly (which they may do with the next X-Box), that would for sure put MS above Sony (assuming Nintendo is still on top next gen). Brand name alone will be enough to sell 360 over Sony in Americas, just like sony and Nintendo sell over MS in Japan by a huge margine. Imagine how big MS could be in the gaming industry next gen.

That said,  won't buy a successor MS console if they still charge you for online use

I wouldn't say "for sure"

Well if MS expanded sales in EMEAA, that should garentee 720 sales to be overall superior then PS4 sales (assuming similar systems as in this gen). It's unlikely that Sony could re-balance MS's EMEAA expansion with an Americas expansion, as MS is the domestic brand in Americas. Japan could begin to favor the PS4 over the next Nintendo, which would counter MS's EMEAA expansion, but either way an EMEAA expansion for MS is probably the best course of action. That or complete dominance over the Americas region, LOL.

This is just theoretical, but if MS could push Forza advertizing in EMEAA, that could really help sales of the 360 next fall. Forza has finally established itself, and now is the time for MS to tell that to the EMEAA.
