Wow, the PS3 is getting destroyed by the 360 in the Americas! Almost 2 to 1.

I've been saying that all through the holidays, but no one wanted to listen. lol!! I think a lot of Americans are getting tired of Sony. Maybe we'll start having the same mindset Japan has for American game consoles and U.S. games. I wonder how that would turn out for Sony?

 

The gap in EMEA isn't getting any bigger really.

I doubt it's much of a case of people are "tired" of Sony, but rather Kinect is making quite the splash on the Xbox 360.

And how could the gap in EMEAA not be getting any bigger? The PS3 outsells the 360 by at least 30k weekly. Unless you don't add that to the total, the gap is obviously getting bigger there, as it is in the Americas the other way around (albeit at a higher rate).

Then the 360 boost in Americas make sense, but the lack of boost in EMEAA doesn't (I leave Japan out because we all know the dealio).  The types of games Kinect has don't appeal to the typical 360 base established in Americas and the UK, yet those are the places where it has sold the most and boosted 360 sales.  Is it simply that more are being shipped to those regions?  Is it advertised more heavily there?  You would think the Kinect effect would be more balanced like the Wii effect was, but we're not seeing that ...
