The average German game console consumer is a lot smarter than the average US one. That makes it harder for MS to stay relevant there through marketing and giveaways alone when Sony provide better games, hardware, and services.

MS could step it up a little, but the only -really- strong thing they could do is better emulate Sony's creative role in the industry.

The arrogance of some Playstation fans is just amazing.

NAh in general they buy better products then other places, lots of quality cars are sold comapred to lets say lots of the crap that is sold else where.

Correct. But, hey, recognizing intelligent decisions is apparently "arrogant."

 

German consumers know quality better. They are also on average better educated, in addition to more culturally aware. This isn't just about German exceptionalism. It has a lot to do with how misinformed and uneducated the average US citizen is compared to the rest of the developed world.

 

I'm a US citizen, but I'm also a social scientist more than willing to admit basic structural truths.
