I think it depends on the specific region you're in that influences the console preference you see. I personally live in America and most of the people I interact with favor the PS3. Maybe it's just my city.
Similarly, a president may dominate an election, but he still probably lost a few states. And then, there are even smaller regions within every state that probably voted for the opposing party.
I think the same is the case for console preference in the US/UK. Just because the X360 has a large lead in the overall nation doesn't mean that it isn't lacking in a few regions within the larger nation.
