Why be on topic when the topic has been done to death. That map was offensive, and it isn't that Americans cannot take it on the chin. We take it on the chin all the fucking time, and we are of a right to be testy about this. Were any of your homelands to receive half the shit thrown at America you would be outraged. The United States is a terribly easy target to blame for seemingly everything. How would any of you feel if every joke was at your expense. Oh we got the joke it just isn't funny. We aren't ignorant, and we aren't provincial either. The only reason you think the joke is funny is, because you believe it on some level.
Now onto topic. I think the entire debate is irrelevant. Not for the simple reason that no real theory was actually put forth, but for the reason that everyone has ignored the biggest variable. The one that must be explained for any argument to have merit. What will the economic situation be both locally and globally in a couple months time. It isn't exactly same old same old right now. There are a lot of nations going through financial crisis right now, and that could have a real effect on the buying power of consumers. So I wouldn't even begin to argue as to how one region will buoy or hinder a particular console.
