MS winning a region=locked down, Sony winning a region=vulnerable

No region is locked down for any of the big three. Yes, MS has a stronger hold on NA and PS3 has a hold on Europe and partially Japan, but there is no reason to think that they couldn't easily lose those strongholds. CASE CLOSED.

Exactly the point I was making but for some reason there seems to be an awful lot of questioning Sony euro sales while people just casually say ms wins North America without even acting like its a bold statement

Ya, like someone posted above, it really all comes down to price and when they are launched.  If MS and SONY launch at the same time at similar prices, then it will be an all out war on who comes out on top.  The only thing that could move it in sony's favor is if they have the most killer launch lineup of first party games, free online, and maybe ps+.  The only reason sony lost NA is because it was $600 and launched a year later, simple as that. And maybe not too many great games either.  

All it takes is for MS to screw up the nextbox launch like sony did and Sony could easily start to take NA back during the new gen.
