PS3 will have more sales than X360 by the end of this generation, however X360 won. Clearly. By far.

Wii too, but, their win was not as relevant as X360's.


The Wii won the generation casuals and all (Sony and Microsoft wanted them too but only Microsoft got a taste). The PS3 vs the 360 was the clash of the titans and Sony will come out on top. Microsoft pulled out all the stops to make sure Sony wouldn't surpass them, but if you want to be factual Microsoft succeeded in winning over America towards their product which also increases national morale in home grown products. Microsoft is going to have to keep Americans in their ballcourt next gen or Sony will gobble them up. If they both launch this year this will be the first gen ever were a Sony and Microsoft product launch at the same time and people will be forced to assess the pros and cons of owning one or the other.

 

Same applies to Europe and Sony. Or do you really think Europeans differ so much to Americans?


Yep. I believe European purchasing habits are freer than Japanese but the mentality towards gaming tends to go more towards a median between Japanese and American habits. They can teeter between for a long while. Americans can sway as well, but when they sway it tends to be a huge indicator of who could possibly win a gen because they purchase things in a rabid fashion.
