NA doesnt hate Sony. They just dont know about their top games. Microsoft no saturates the television set with Xbox 360 commercials. If they believed games like Skyrim and COD were exclusive, I wouldn't fault them at all the way Microsoft's commercials are made. Microsoft pay for third party commercials then stamps their insignia on the end of it all. Anyway, the PS3 as a gaming console dominated MS in 2011. It was the Kinect that kept Sony at bay all year. I think Sony needs to say hello to the casuals, dont you?

I wrote "dislike" not "hate" and judging by the sales it's true. The PS3 sold worse in NA than it did in Europe and afaik it's the only console that ever did.

 

@casuals:

That's easier said than done though. Just look how much effort MS had to throw behind Kinect to make it take off. Now imagine what Sony would have to do to make casuals migrate from Wii and Kinect to PS3. Sony is neither able nor willing to risk that much, even if they had a good idea that could attract the casual crowd. Remember the eye toy? Everything that took off this gen (dancing games, fitness games, motion party games) was already there, yet nobody cared. Sony wasn't able to attract the casual masses like Nintendo (or recently MS) did this gen.
