Why is the Xbox 360 SO popular in the U.S.?

the sole rason is because it launched at an affordable price with 2 variations, then quickly gained software support with a great games lineup. 360 WOULD NOT BE AS POPULAR in NA had it launched at a ridiculously high price like some other console

I don't get why ps3 fans say the same things everyday. Everyone knows that the price really hurt the PS3 in the beginning, and everyone knows the 360 would never have done so well if it launched at that price.
