In the U.S the Xbox is by far a stronger brand. It was dominant before entering the gaming buisbess thanks to it's PC software and due to that people in the U.S are more accustomed to microsoft and so Microsoft's console is a stronger brand there.

I'd disagree about this. Although there it is a lot closer than anywhere else I'd still say the PlayStation brand is stronger than the Xbox brand in the US.

People may have had windows PCs or whatever before but that doesn't necessarily translate to making the Xbox brand strong, they are completely different products and besides if it worked out like that in the US wouldn't it have done so elsewhere since Windows is the dominant OS worldwide. The hugely successful PS1 and PS2 and somewhat successful PS3 however have definitely made the PS brand huge in the US.

Though one can't also ignore the fact that the Xbox 360 won in the U.S ( and rightfully so ) last generation and even though the Ps4 should have destroyed the Xbox One this generation, they are constantly head to head. I don't know why the windows PC's haven't helped in other countries but it has surely helped in the U.S as people tend to already have some knowledge of what Microsoft offers as a company and I've met people ( online ) who have constantly mixed up together the IP's found on PC's and Xbox.
