As i said several times, PS is the dominant brand in Croatia (as in 95% or more - my own estimate).

X360 gained some ground, but only because of the pirated games. But even then it was only about 5-10% of the PS3 number, and then mostly bought by people that also have a PS3. (Single player games pirated on X360, online played on PS3 because of no subscription fee).
Now that XOne cannot be pirated, most people simply decided it's not worth the hassle to own it.

Back in X360 days, great majority of population had no idea what XBox is (and only the older generation even remembers Nintendo as a brand).
So the conversation went like this (a lot of times):
- What is that thing?
- XBox!
- What????
- It's like a PlayStation, only made by Microsoft.
- Ah, now I understand (walks away unimpressed and confused)...

Playstation is just a huge brand here, basically all consoles are called playstations...

 

EDIT: I also need to add that all handhelds are still called Gameboy :) 

That's nothing, ove here every handheld is called an Atari for crying out loud.
