I actually expect the Xbone to be leading in North America for most of this gen. Americans just seem to like Xbox more than PlayStation, whereas Europe tends to be much more PlayStation oriented.

Not me. I'm more of a Nintendo fan & a Playstation fan, & I'm an American.

Awesome! But at large, Americans seem to prefer the 360 over the PS3 but obviously not all Americans. I'm sure there's at least one Japanese person that thinks the 360 and Xbone are the dog's bollocks but they're few and far between as far as sales figures show.

I have a Japanese friend on my Xbl friends list. He's ALWAYS online playing XBL arcade games. It seemed so odd, that I sent him a message, asking which console he was going to get, Xbone or PS4 and he said "Xbox, because I love Xbox" lol. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

I think MS just knows what Americans want better than anyone else and that's what they focus on. I remember the tail end of the PS2 generation where the first Xbox, thanks in large part to Halo 2 and XBL, was almost overtaking it. American's love online gaming more than any other country, and that's MS's greatest strength.

That's very true! MS does have a much greater focus on online play whereas Sony has many more single player exclusives...althought sometimes they have tacked on multiplayer. We definitely have our online fanatics here in the UK and they generally buy Xbox too.
