Because the best MS console was better until like 2009, and then PS3 blown it out of the water? The worst Sony console was still pretty fucking amazing all said & done, even with the bumpy start.

Why bias? Because you still insist that the main reason is/was MS hated brand vs loved PS brand and consumers are stupid. It is not the case. PS consoles are better to many people, for various reasons, discrediting them and saying it's just cause of hate is very unfair to those consumers and people who make PlayStation.

And how can you state so decisively that a consistently better MS console wouldn't outsell an inferior PS console? Because some guys told you they would never buy an Xbox? Come on, this isn't a serious argument unless that sample was 40 million guys (there are like 80 million Germans right?)

 

if its not brand/company awareness

why sold the the x360 so much better in uk but still badly compared to the ps3 in mainland europe?

 

 

ofc its one of the main reasons.

what about nintendo? no love in the uk beside the wii

 

 

that all has nothing to do with loved and not loved brands and companys?

 

@bold I don't understand, what are you trying to prove, that it sold well or not?

I don't know how it went for UK last gen, but MS is focusing more on the anglosaxon markets, probably more marketing, better app support etc. plus UK, like US seems to prefer FPS games more than mainland Europe where on the other hand racing and action adventure games shine, 360 excelled in the former, PS3 on the latter.

Keeping all of that in mind, it once again proves that brand is a secondary thing, Xbox outsold PlayStation in US/UK, now PS4 handily outsells Xbox there. Brand preferences are important, actual better product is way more.

As for Nintendo and Wii in the UK, that's exactly what I'm saying, make a good, desirable product and it will sell no matter if your brand is strong or not. It sold amazing numbers there just like DS, even though Nintendo consoles are performing slightly worse there than in other markets on average.
