MS has no chance in Europe. Too many anti Americans who won't buy an Xbox simply because of its country of origin. They should be throwing more money at dominating America where they still have a chance at creating a large lead in the long term to offset their failure in Europe and Asia. |
Yeah, that's why Hollywood movies, Starbucks coffee, the iPod etc etc have all failed in Europe. |
The difference is, there is no alternative. There is no alternative to big budget hollywood action movies, there is no alternative to the ipod unless you want to be using CD players forever, and Europeans won't give up their comforts because of their beliefs. With consoles there is a clear alternative, Japanese consoles versus American consoles. I've spoken with more than one European that has said they won't be supporting the Xbox because it's American made and promoted made simply to take over another industry to support their expansionist and capitalist system, an explanation I hear second only to the one that it has too many FPS games which aren't particularly popular in Europe.
