I personally can't believe 360 won 2011. I seriosuly, seriously thought 360 would be last place by the end of it. PS3 exclusive, the price cut, and Europe/Japan edge would surely put PS3 over the top.
Guess NA and Kinect were bigger factors then any of us expected. |
US is arguably the largest videogame market, and in that market the Microsoft brand is its strongest at the moment. So I'm not that surprised. Considering a good portion of those units were Kinect bundles, it seems Microsoft have now struck gold like Nintendo once did by tapping into that casual gamer market goldmine. I just hope they don't alienate the core and find a good balance.

And people say NA /= world.
It isn't...but it sure is the biggest and most relevant part of it (from a gaming sense).

its not just NA, 360 does pretty damn good in Europe, people just try to denie that, 360 has 20M install base on Europe vs 23M Ps3. The gap isnt that huge. Ofc UK is pretty big but 360 does quite well in EU. Also Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, India, Latin America and Mexico are markets pretty big for 360 and Console is still growing there.
Even here in Portugal the Console is showing growth and loads of Live new members.
