| Serious_frusting said: I dont live in America so i don't really understand, but is the Xbox brand really that much more popular than PlayStation? I just find it odd that people would just dismiss PlayStation as 2nd tier because M$ won US this gen. I think people tend to forget how easily Sony/Nintendo won and also lost the US. |
I think many assume there is some kind of 'home grown brand loyalty' for the US. Yet if that was the case, Xbox (1?)..the first Xbox would have beaten the PS2, it didn't.
Bad pricing on PS3 killed it in the US, $600 was a mistake. When it's competitors were far cheaper. You are right, all consoles easily lost as well as gained in markets. I think the $100 price difference will be a key thing for those who just don't care and are buying a gift for their kid. $100.
Hmm, pie.
