By definition, Capitalism is the economic system which promotes free trade. Money should go to the best producer, if USA can't keep up, they shouldn't get pity cheques. By strictly buying American products because they are American and discouraging free trade, you are by definition, being a communist (no offense).

Plus both systems are built in China, how are you exactly creating jobs in the United States?

MS's interactive entertainment business hires ppl with computer science degrees, for one.  I think about applying sometimes.  I don't care much for definitions of "you're this or you're that".  I go so far as to buy from companies that are based in my own city (if given the choice) to promote jobs in my neighborhood.  Anything else would be irresponsible. 

Choosing to buy a product, partially based on job creation, from a private company is not communism by any definition.  

My point about the Capitalist/Communist this is that buying domestic is "Un-American" because USA was founded on the economic liberty of Capitalism and free-trade.

Both MS & Sony will preferably hire the most qualified programers for their online services. Neither company cares if you were from the USA, Europe, China or whatever, and both companies have brances in each region to save on taxes. So like your image explains, buying MS over Sony doesn't specifically create any more Job in the USA since a more successful PSN in USA would create more Jobs at SCEA in California.

Choosing to buy domestic over imported on the sole basis of Job Creation goes against free-trade, which is exactly the opposite of Capitalist. I'm not saying "by definition" as an arguement, I am using actual defining terms for Capitalism/Communism. Free-Trade is one of the largests principles of Capitalism, and the lack of it is one of the largest principles of Communism (and to an extent Socialism).

Being someone who is a Capitalist, I will get the better product when the time comes to upgrade. Right now this just means a WiiU/PC for me for now, but I might get a PS4 if I start hearing about XBO's break like 360's in the future.
