Why isn't the 360 selling or sold better? (This is not a flame)

At point number 7 you are stating lacking backwards compatibility, didn't sony remove the hardware compatibility from the EU version?

No, partially removed. The EE is now mostly rendered redundant, it's a relatively cheap chip compared to the rest of the system. I never owned a PS2, but I recently bought Ape Escape 2, God of War and Jak3 and they play fine on my EU PS3. There are other reasons why the PS3 costs more in EU countries, such as logistics related costs (translations, different legal systems, EU employees costing more money overall, more costly and more diverse taxing systems, etc). Anywhow the PAL version of many PS2 games offer higher resolutions than the NTSC version, so maybe you are getting the better deal afterall.

Well but doesn't xbox360 have software emulation also? (I honestly don't know how good it is)

 So far, from what I've experienced --(i bought 4 xbox games), all four fired right up with no issues whatsoever -- just as if the would have on the original xbox.  Given my early experience I suspect that software emulation, when done right, is more than adequate.
