I feel the same way about Motomu Toriyama. From time to time its just for the good of humanity to publicly call him the worlds biggest twat.
That said though, Andrew Wilson isnt in the wrong here. What he says is right.

The momentum didnt shift out of Microsofts favor in the eyes of the Western world. Re-read my post. We are talking about EA here, a Western 3rd party publisher.
These publishers care not for Japanese sales because the games they make do very little in the JP market. They look primarily at sales in the West (NA, Europe), which is where the Xbox 360 has handily outsold the PS3 by around 10 Million units. While the PS3 may have outsold the 360 Yearly, a large portion of that lead comes from expanding markets and Japan, where software sales simply arent all that great.
Nobody at all in 2009/2010 expected the next PlayStation console to break all records and outsell the Xbox One in US/UK.
