Part of the issue for 360 outside UK is that, at least until now, the console has really needed to catch a territory switching from PC to console for online and FPS to really blossom. It caught that moment perfect in the US and the UK comes a close second.
That's been the core of the 360's growth. But Germany and a lot of other countries FPS/Online remains more popular on PC which seems to have hampered growth of 360.
PS3 has the advantage of brand plus the image (if not the fact) of a library that is more SP/console game centric vs being an alternative to gaming on a PC.
It's worth remembering that in a lot of European territories the Xbox brand was historically seen as the poor man's PC, something you got if you couldn't afford a gaming PC - not the best image although one the 360/Live has managed to erode much more than the Xbox did, and something I'm sure Kinect will help with as it makes the 360 look a lot like a PC substitute in those countries.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
