So what pushed Kinect in America was a dead and bleached man? Americans are strange.  OTOH, heavy advertising just pushed it by 6k more in EMEAA... Maybe Europeans don't trust devices mixing up with undead singers....   

Anyway, America is supporting Kinect and 3DS more than any other region.

Japan helps 3DS too to keep WW sales leadership some more weeks, but it also keeps on giving PSP a second youth.

PS3 first again amongst home consoles. Its big YoY drop also shows that during April of last year it was still enjoying the huge sales boost since the previous September price drop, so it looks like price drops benefit PS3 the most and the longer.


Of course the Americas is the largest market.  And as an American, It seems that they are the largest casual market as well from my personal observation.  Dance games will cater to the casuals first as a whole.  And with the PS3 being the most expensive console in the market while selling the most worldwide will get a tremendous boost with a price drop.  Demand great prices = awesome stuff.
