actually, if we are talking about home consoles, EMEAA & Japan is about equal to America.
Total console sales
EMEAA & Japan = 96.2
America = 91.3
With VGchartz being aproximate (around 10%) it is actually a statisticall tie. So basically, if Xbox continues to dominate in America, it will make it really hard for the ps3 to surpass it. Not impossible, just hard.
Right now, xbox isn't doing that well in EMEAA and Japan and PS3 isn't doing well in America. With both markets being about equal... you see where I'm going? Right now it is pretty balanced out. Something drastic needs to happen to tip the scales, and not a price drop. Those only give a temporary boost. By drastic I mean like next gen system being released. Kind of like the project cafe and obviously any next gen consoles from sony or MS.
It will be interesting to see what kind of impact project cafe will have on these two consoles. Historically, the last gen competing consoles get a bit of a boost when a new console comes out. Usually because of the constrained stock and unavailability of the new product drives customers to the old one.
