Who will win?

I don't think the middle east will count for more than 3 million consoles all told by the end of the generation. Such a tiny market there for people who want/can afford game systems. Nothing really matters but America, Japan, and Europe overall. Australia helps too.

 You are wrong my friend, Joeykanga is right when he said that Egypt only knows PS3 and PSP, and I know that, but some people in the middle east starting to recognize the Xbox360, Middle Eastern have great loyalty to Japanese products cause they are busy boycotting American ones.

If u asks me, I am saying that MS would find it hard to win in the Middle East but they have gone as far as making them aware and I think that’s an achievement that MS deserve to be proud of.

Secondly, in the Middle East especially the Arab oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia, they can afford buying a PS3 or Xbox360 for each son (and they have like dozens as I heard). So I don’t think Sony or MS will underestimate this market as it’s gonna be more than 10 million consoles there.

 Here in Australia we only count as 5 Million consoles I think. So the Middle East would be a hot spot for both MS and Sony, the wii over there did not get the head start which means that those people are not price sensitive, they are more into quality and that says something about their affordability too.
