In 3rd world countries the PS3 and 360 are still expensive and only now are approaching an affordable price. PS4 and X1 are insanely expensive.
Everytime I saw and American complaining about the 500 bucks X1, I laughed. I paid that for my PS3 in 2011. And almost the double for my PS4. A DS4 costs 130 dollars on Brazil. And don't even ask about 3DS and Vita because portables sell way less here and are even more overpriced.
That explains why PS3 is outselling the 360 handily now. The main markets for 360 are US and UK, both early adopters. PS3 is stronger in the RoW, EU (that has big markets that are early adopters but others like the EU East are more late) and even Japan is a little more conservative when migrating gens.
