While I'm pretty sure you're well aware of what I meant and are just finding anything to argue about, allow me to spell it out for you.
When referring to products in the generic sense in popular media here in NA, such as "Coke" when referring to a soft drink or "Kleenex" for facial tissues, "Xbox" has become the term for video games that "Playstation" once enjoyed. That, along with hardware/software sales, points to the brand recognition of Xbox showing significant growth in NA whereas Playstation has shown decline. When you consider the utter dominance the Playstation brand had in the 6th generation, wowzers indeed...

1. The 360 is not nearly as dominate as the ps2 was in US.
2. On top of that people dont say coke when referring to soft dring they say soda or pop. Hicks from Texas call it a coke.
3. And no... people dont say "360" when referring to gaming. They are literally talking about a 360

1. I never said it was. Perhaps you should re-read people's comments before responding...
2. Wow, you'll reach for anything, won't you. And you're wrong. Many people say coke when referring to soda; if "hicks from Texas" do it too it just adds further weight to my point.
3. I didn't say "360", I said "Xbox". Again, see point 1.

1. naw. In order for it to "replace the ps2" for people calling gaming "xbox" then it would need to be as dominate. If you think people are referring to their Ps3's or Wiis as xbox then you my friend are on crack. The reason why so many people referred to Playstation as gaming is because the sheer dominance. For every 4 ps2's you would have a xbox or GC (yes combined)
2. No it doesn't add further weight to your point.
3. Who cares? interchangebale in my opinion.

1. Clearly it doesn't have to be as dominant, since yes, the term "Xbox" has largely replaced "Playstation" when referring to gaming in a general sense. It's not about referring to a Wii or a PS3 specifically as an Xbox, it's about the terminology when referring to gaming in general.
2. Yes, it does, because not only "hicks in Texas" say this, which is what your point here was based on.
3. Well, you should care, since the specifics you're quick to disregard now was what your point hinged on, lol. "Xbox" is the terminology I'm referring to not "360". Same way people generally referred to "Playstation" as gaming last gen, not "PS2".
