Europe will likely remain a sony stronghold as long as they have Gran Turismo.

I think Europes love for Gran Turismo is over exaggerated. Do people really have loyalty when it comes to racing games? I don't think so.

I would look at it this way.  Gran Turismo 5 has sold more in Europe alone then all the Forza's combined... despite the console game only being 5 million.

Halo is essentially America's Gran Turismo.

 

This generation will likely end up with each console holding a major market with first place won on the margins... and Microsoft will be shut out of one of those markets.  The smallest market... however that's going to really hurt vs Sony unless Nintendo dominates... and if Nintendo dominates, then that's bad for Microsoft as well, since it likely means Nintendo is doing well everywhere else.

MS  REALLY needs to kicks ass in the US, essentially.
