Microsoft is popular in America because Microsoft is an American company. But it's not patriotism.
Simply put, since Microsoft is American, they're more in tune with the American culture and our demands. Sony is Japanese, so the console has that bias towards the Japanese culture. It's up to SCEA to convert that Japanese console into something that Americans would want. It's not an optimal conversion.
