Does anyone know why it's so popular in the US but not elsewhere?
People keep going on about how the world hates America and won't buy XBoxes because of it but I can only assume that's nonsense as the majority of the developed world has Windows on their home computer. Secondly, if you asked the average person in the street in Europe where Sony came from I expect they'd tell you America too. People tend to assume that all big companies are American becasuse most of them are.
I think the RRoD has seriously damaged sales outside America but that doesn't explain why it isn't damaging sales inside America to the same extent.
Maybe it really is the case that the US and UK like shooters and the rest of the world doesn't.
