Yeah US is a lock for MS next gen
Sorry if that irritates you... But yeah, it's a given. |
People said the same thing about PS3. look what happened.
Nothing is locked-in. You're just flaming.

Sony had 3 territories under lockdown before the PS3. Something had to give... Microsoft only has 1 market on "lock-down" if you will. It's unrealistic to think that MS would lose that 1 market because of trends... Sony lost NA more because they couldn't afford 3 markets at once and not necessarily because of what MS had to offer.

America isnt on "lock-down". If anything that is the easiest market to influence.
Sony can afford to lead in all 3 markets. They aren't bankrupt. What it will come down to is HOW they launch the PS4. Rumors point to them focusing on launching in America and Japan first. Having a region-by-region controlled launch gives them a much higher chance of gaining marketshare early on in each one.
This would explain why Wii U failed to make an impact in Europe. Nintendo completely ignored it in favor of other regions.
