hum mrstickball,
Japan is not the best example u should use.
Wii and PS3 and Xbox360 are selling a really different level. Wii is +50k, PS3 is +10k, while Xbox360 is +2k. This is the most BIASED market WW.
The PS3 has a higher userbase on Japan and really outsell the Xbox360 every weeks.
At the opposite, in NA, sales trends (if u want to use them) show that despite a really bigger userbase, the Xbox360 is not really outselling weekly the PS3 by a big marge. In fact, the PS3 has really increased in sales since last year, and the 2 consoles have a similar sales rate since the beginning of the year (Im not sure Xbox360 shortage below to past or not ...).
I conclude about the massive Xbox360 advertising : the first advertising that has been shown in US (comments somewhere in VGChartz) didn't mention the exclusive content of the Xbox360 and was not pushing one console over the other.
Time to Work !
